Additional deck interpretation:
The Four of Cups points you towards a path of withdrawing into your own space. You turn your emotions inward so you can sort out your feelings as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.
This is the level on your continuous cycle of change where your heart closes and you use your thoughts to wall yourself off from the rest of the world. It is possible that the love you had for your current partner has vanished.
The Four of Cups is associated with many situations.
You might be daydreaming because the honeymoon is over and you are feeling numb and having unfaithful thoughts. You may be feeling the grass is greener elsewhere, but you are not acting on these thoughts.
It's also possible that you feel depressed and do not want to reach out to others, rather, you want to go it alone. Isolation has become an issue, and nothing is getting resolved or healed.
This is a time of missed opportunities, but also the right time when you need to be alone to induce a meditative state. This experience will help you gain insight and enable you to sort through your feelings, make the right adjustments and regain your true direction.
Numerical Number 4: This number is associated with the time when you will create your temple and build a strong foundation that has the sturdy roots of the oak tree.
The Element of Water: The Four of Cups is associated with the elemental water qualities of the planet Neptune (the spiritual awakener who helps you dissolve your ego so you will make the right adjustment) and the zodiac sign of Cancer. The combination of Neptune in Cancer brings you into a meditative experience to gain insight.
Probable Outcome: You may be detached and not willing to accept new opportunities, or you are missing opportunities because you are not ready to take a risk.
Perhaps you are depressed and do not want to reach out to others. Instead, you want to go it alone. You are turning your feelings inwards and withdrawing from the people who are close to you. You might need professional counseling.
Your love for your partner may have vanished - you feel that the honeymoon is over. Your heart is closed and you are feeling numb because of unfaithful thoughts. Even though you think the grass is greener elsewhere, you have not acted on these emotions.
Or you are missing opportunities because you want to put yourself in a meditative experience in order to gain insight, sort out your feeling and make the right adjustment.
Possible Outcome: You are ready to take a risk and willing to accept new opportunities, or accept an opportunity you missed in the past.
You could be emerging from your self-exile and becoming more social.
You may be acting on unfaithful thoughts and might have started an affair.
Then again, you may be unable to channel the energies of the Four of Cups into your life. If this is the case, you probably feel the grass is greener elsewhere. You are not willing to go to counseling and have decided to leave your relationship, or you are not ready to be in a committed relationship and have decided to keep your options open.
Timing: The Four of Cups predicts that your intuition and emotions will be turned into action so you can live your dreams. This event may occur in the next weeks or months to come.
