The Four of Cups
The Lord of Luxury is a card with a hidden sting in its tail. On the
surface it indicates a wealth of loving affection, showing a person
who is lucky enough to receive a great deal of devotion and
tenderness.
At first look, you would think we would be all too pleased with this
situation wouldn't you? However, the sting is this - sometimes, when
we are loved deeply and for a long period of time, we are foolish
enough to forget what it feels like when we are lonely and unloved.
And as soon as we make that mistake, we start to undervalue the
tenderness and emotional investment that others are making in us.
We begin to get careless about the ways in which we treat those people
who love us. We may hanker after love from some-one outside our
circle, instead of valuing those people closer to hand who love us
from the bottom of their hearts.
In other words, we can begin to take love for granted. And there are
three things in this world we are all silly to take for granted -
love, good health and tranquillity. Every one of them slips away
silently if we stop paying it due attention.
So, when the Lord of Luxury appears, whilst you will know that there
is a great deal of love in the air, there's also a warning which must
be taken on board - count your blessings, reciprocate, and don't get
your priorities in a mess. That way you'll carry on being loved for a
very long time.
Working with the Four of Cups
The Lord of Luxury, as I said in my first analysis of it, is a card
with a sting in the tail. Whilst it indicates a great deal of loving
affection surrounding us, it also warns that we stand the very real
possibility of committing a great sin - that of taking love for
granted.
One thing you might have noticed in life is the strange way in which
we value the love of people we feel deeply affectionate toward more
highly than the love of people we are less attracted to. From my
perspective this is an odd, and rather unkind attitude to have.
It's natural to want those we love to return our feelings, of course.
But just because we do not feel strongly about a person, we may not
imagine that the love they offer us is less valuable. If we are
careless of their feelings, we will hurt them just as thoroughly as if
we were careless of the feelings of our beloved - or they of ours. And
there is no justification for such behaviour.
Love is a mighty and precious emotion. It both creates and destroys
with ease. That some-one loves us is a priceless gift from the
Universe. Whether we necessarily reciprocate in quite the same way is
totally irrelevant. This person's love exists in isolation of our
judgement of its importance.
So on a day ruled by the Lord of Pleasure, count the loving feelings
that people hold for you. Treasure each and every one of these as the
inestimable compliment and treasure it is. Do not stand in judgement.
Rather, take a harder look at the people who offer you love, where you
may not have sought it. And adjust your view of that love until you
respect its worth, even though you may not return it.
Do not fall into the trap of doing things because somebody loves
you….simply hold their feelings in the high regard they deserve. And
be very grateful and glad to be loved….. There are a great many people
out there who never experience the warmth of being held dear and
special. And that is a very lonely experience.
And if, for the time, you feel as though you are one of those people
who is not loved and held dear, then use this day to seek out at least
one place where there is an abundance of love, and go to it……everybody
deserves to feel that they are not completely alone. You could do
worse than visit the huggy healing forum if you're in need of a really
good hug!!
Affirmation: I see love around me and celebrate its presence.

FOUR OF CUPS
Attribution - Moon in Cancer
Cups is the suit of emotion, inner states, feelings, relationships,
memories, spiritual experiences. This suit talks about friendship,
family, love and happiness. The cup is the container of something
sacred.
Fours represent structure, stability, foundation, order,
predictability, solidity, logic, reason, organization, discipline,
manifestation and practical attainment.
Rider-Waite Imagery
The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite (1911)
A young man is seated under a tree and contemplates three cups set on
the grass before him; an arm issuing from a cloud offers him another
cup. His expression notwithstanding is one of discontent with his
environment.
Divinatory Meanings
Upright: Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary vexations, as if the
wine of this world had caused satiety only; another wine, as if a
fairy gift, is now offered the wastrel, but he sees no consolation
therein. This is also a card of blended pleasure.
Reversed: Novelty, presage, new instruction, new relations.
Some Additional Meanings of the Lesser Arcana
Four: Contrarieties. Reversed: Presentiment.
**Phantasmagoric - Polly, the Four of Cups, spends much of her time
shut away, yet she is desperate to make new friends. Polly is always
searching for someone or something, yet when opportunities arise, she
seems uninterested and doesn't take the next step.
UPRIGHT
A welcome respite from high-paced activity.
An unfulfilled or boring relationship.
Take the cup and see what it has to offer; if it is more of the same,
don't accept it.
Discontent.
Recuperation from a lost love or illness.
You don't care what happens.
Having it all but no longer wanting any of it.
Apathy.
Listless daydreaming.
Meditation, reflection, time of quiet.
Boredom.
Stagnation.
Imagined troubles with no consolation in sight.
Temporary period if inaction.
Turning inward.
Walled off.
Something is missing.
Lack of motivation.
Feeling introverted.
This is an irritating, listless, boring day. You are feeling stuck and
need to re-evaluate the choices you have made.
"Is this all there is to life?"
Wanting more joy, pleasure, comfort.
Unhappiness and bitter experiences.
This is sometimes referred to as the "Brat" card.
Pick up your head and look around. There is something being offered to
you; you only need to reach out and take it.
Reach out.
REVERSED
Holding back, withdrawal.
The end of discontent.
Feeling energized.
New relationships.
No longer in a rut.
Novelty.
Beginning to socialize more.
Wanting to be involved again.
New things are possible.
Inactivity is now over.
Coming out of a blue funk and finding things interesting again.
Assess your feelings and efforts; that might tell you why you have
been down in the dumps.
