What's wrong with this Picture?
Hi G***
The Four of Cups refers to feelings of dissatisfaction and discontent in matters of the heart.
It can indicate being at a crossroads in a relationship. Feeling a sense of boredom or disinterest. Feeling melancholy. Being "comfortably numb."
You may be feeling that you've gone as far as you can go in your relationship, or if you're single you may be feeling apathetic about the prospects that are out there for you.
The Four of Cups speaks of being unhappy with where things stand — whether you're the one who's unhappy or are on the receiving end of someone else's discontent.
There are also elements of ambivalence or indifference associated with this card. This is what happens when the state of limerence is lifted and the lovers are left feeling disillusioned.
You may be involved in a perfectly functional relationship that lacks the thrill and excitement of something new. In this respect you may be less inclined to consider your partner's needs and more inclined to see the goblets as half empty rather than half full.
If you're not currently in a relationship, your single status may be at the root of your dissatisfaction. But you'll also have to ask yourself what you bring to the table too: you're not likely to attract a partner if you're projecting a laissez-faire attitude. You can't go looking for someone to alleviate your boredom. You'll have to take care of that yourself.
Ask yourself if you've been too self-absorbed and too caught up in your own reverie to bother putting in any real effort. Whether this means working on the relationship you have or finding a new partner, you'll have to pull yourself out of the doldrums if you want to see results.
One of the greater benefits of the Four of Cups is that it reveals to you exactly what's “wrong with this picture" and allows you the opportunity to make it right. You can start by working on fulfilling your own needs rather than assuming someone else is going to do it for you.
If your current situation is worth salvaging you'll have to step up and meet your partner half-way. And if it's not, or if a lack of relationship is the problem, taking stock of what you put out there and what you can do to improve it will go a long way towards alleviating your discontent
