The Four Of Cups

The message of this card might well be "Wake Up" or you may miss a golden opportunity coming your way. The Four of Cups symbolizes apathy, lethargy, passivity and and withdraw into one's self. The fellow asleep beneath the tree is engaging in a self-defeating self-absorption which prevents him from observing and receiving life's gifts and abundance.  Such a course of action can only deter his spiritual and intellectual growth.

In a reading with the Four of Cups the following questions should be considered:

-Would you recognize a gift from the Universe if presented with one?

-How do you make sense out of your seeming disengagement from the world?

-Are you feeling flat or depressed?

-Do you tend to day dream?

-Do you lack motivation?

-Do others complain about your apathy?

-Do others demand more from you?

-Can you cite examples of missed opportunities due to your disinterest in what was happening around you?

-What are your concerns or ideas around being more engaged?

-Who complains the most about your attitude?

-Do you see your laid back stance as problematic for yourself or only for others?

The Life Lesson here is  that in order to ensure your cups runneth over embrace life's blessings on a daily basis.
