The Four of cups Meaning
After the soul is lit up by the establishment of love and affection, is the come down. Now you’re wondering if the pedestal you put him on was built too high. It’s not that you’re reconsidering the relationship, but things are coming back to reality. Work needs to be done, life has to go on. In order to get to forever with another person, there is work that needs to be done.
The last piece of confetti hits the floor, and the parties over. It was great, long, you’re tired and smiling in your intoxication. The next morning you’ll wake up, hung over still in your party clothes, and look around at disarray. The bright colored solo-cups and confetti hit your brain like lightning, the migraine you were waiting for comes and so does the vomit from the smell of spilled alcohol on the rug. Some one’s going to have to clean up.
This card is the apathy, withdrawal, and hazy state you feel after the parties over and you have to clean. Only this party was in the form of a relationship, which requires work. It’s the time after all the first romantics are over, and life starts to go back to normal. There can be disassociation when you realize that while the two of you existed in your own universe, that the world around you continued to go on. The dreams you were chasing before the love came crashing in come back into play. Your image on this person isn’t the same as it was when it first met; their flaws start to show, bad habits, their obsessions and addictions. The two of you will be able to observe the natural personalities of one another now, as things relax and fall into comfort.
This card symbolizes boredom and stagnancy while the things that only time can manifest are nurtured. It can also mean that a situation did not turned out exactly as you imagined, and you are disenchanted by the experience. A decision needs to be made on whether whatever is disappointing you will break this or be tolerated. This can also say that help will come when you least expect it to, like a gift from the heavens.
