The Four of Cups shows a withdrawal in front of what is offered. The fourth cup arrives behind the figure, who stays seated without turning round.
The figure stays seated under a tree, arms crossed, in front of three cups set on the ground. A fourth cup is held out from a cloud, behind him, outside his field of vision.
Your withdrawal keeps its value when it listens to what you need. Seated under the tree, you name what does not suit you, then come back with a clear request.
You sit on your disappointment, arms crossed, and the offer that arrives behind you stays outside: you take your refusal as proof that nothing good comes along.
RWS. Four of Cups. The hand coming down from the sky takes up the one of the Aces: the gift comes from the same source, and Waite notes it stays unseen.
Look at what you refuse, turn round towards what is held out, and ask yourself whether that refusal comes from a real need or an old habit.
