Four of Cups

Minor Arcana · Kupa Dört

Stability or pause in emotion, relationship and intuition.

Upright: water, emotion, relationship and intuition

Reversed: blocked, excess

Waite's description

A young man is seated under a tree and contemplates three cups set on the grass before him; an arm issuing from a cloud offers him another cup. His expression notwithstanding is one of discontent with his environment.

Divinatory Meanings

Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary vexations, as if the wine of this world had caused satiety only; another wine, as if a fairy gift, is now offered the wastrel, but he sees no consolation therein. This is also a card of blended pleasure.

Reversed

Novelty, presage, new instruction, new relations.
