Four of Cups

What the card shows
A figure sits beneath a tree, ignoring a cup offered from a cloud. The card invites you to notice whether withdrawal is restful reflection or missed opportunity.
If everything feels familiar, gently notice whether a quieter kind of interest is available.
The suit of Cups
Cups belong to water. They hold feeling, relationships, intuition and imagination. Cups cards ask what moves you and how you care for yourself and others.
