Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

Wishful thinking can take it’s toll on the spiritual aspect of life, as when we are caught up in ‘poor me’ thinking or ‘I wish things were different,’ it tends to blind us to the beauty of what IS in our lives, right now. Stay constant and grounded in the present moment. If you can’t keep a ‘gratitude journal’ and write down things you feel grateful for every day, at least make a list of twenty people/situations/things in your life that you are grateful for now. Thinking along these lines can elevate your ‘spiritual mindset’ immensely, and quickly.

Card Meanings: Nostalgia, Disillusion, Self-Absorption, Frustration, Meditation, Stagnation, Remorse, Yearning, Reevaluation, Dissatisfaction, Boredom, Missed Opportunities, Refusing Offers, Depression, Kindness, Weariness, Regret, Apathy, Day-Dreaming, Focusing On The Negative, Redemption

The Four of Cups is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what ‘is’ now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about ‘what could be.’ It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

Reversed Cards: This card is connected to the moon, which we know has cycles. The new moon or dark moon is considered a protective aspect of the moon cycle. It hides, keeps them safe, and offers protection from prying eyes, which is how we can see the Four of Cups as well. Here in the protection aspect, you are safe to linger alone with your feelings, uninterrupted. Here on the dark side of the moon, it matters not if you move forward, stay still, or run around screaming. No one can see you here. You are safe to express your emotions and free to feel any way you see fit.

Complete Book of Tarot: Glory/Splendor. Hod is associated with the planet Mercury and thus with rational thought and the orderliness of the universe. The tarot cards related to the number eight are Strength or Justice (VIII), the Star (XVII, 1 + 7 = 8), and all the pip cards numbered eight.
