Career, Work Or Retirement:

You may not like your job very much, but at least it keeps food on the table. In today’s modern throwaway age job security is a thing of the past. NO job is 100% secure as many have found out to their cost. Be thankful that you are not one of them. Remember that it is rare for any of us to ever be truly completely trapped.

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: With the moon and Cancer playing big parts of the energy of this card, it is no wonder the Four of Cups in the upright position often speaks of being overwhelmed. Here in the blocked aspect, we are dealing less with the structure and mood of our current emotions. Instead, we are choosing to block them out and ignore them altogether. Let’s face it—you are just not that into emotions. You find them pointless and a complete distraction. Why bother wasting energy on feeling when you can just block it out completely? Being numb might be a short-term answer to your current circumstances, but eventually it will all come crashing down on you whether you like it or not.

Complete Book of Tarot: Being gaseous, Air rises. The element Fire also rises, as it represents radiant energy that can escape the Earth’s atmosphere. The light (fire) from the sun travels through space to reach our planet. The two upward- and outer-directed elements, Fire and Air, are considered active masculine principles. In the tarot, the suit of Wands is commonly associated with Fire and the suit of Swords with Air. The pip cards of the Wands and Swords typically represent circumstances and emotional situations with an upward outward movement (excitement, adventure, conflict, travel, expansion, relocation, departure, etc.).
