Four of Cups Tarot Card Description
The Four of Cups depicts a young man sitting under a tree far away from others in a state of deep contemplation and meditation. He seems to be dissatisfied with what he has in life, represented by the three cups sitting before him. A fourth cup is being offered to him by an outstretched arm, but he doesn't seem to notice or care. This card signifies a moment in which one is absorbed in their own emotions and thoughts, perhaps to the point of being unaware of the opportunities around them.
