Four of Cups

Modern Witch Tarot

The Four of Cups at first glance seems pretty innocuous. Most cards show a figure sitting against a tree or structure with three cups in front of them. A fourth cup appears magically, but the figure doesn’t seem to notice it. In fact, the whole demeanour of the figure is one of apathy, dullness, and boredom. In other words they’re over it

Interpreting the Four of Cups Tarot Card Reversed

You don’t have to read Tarot cards as reversed. Most of the time I don’t. Those times when I do usually happen when I’ve laid out the cards and can see that the reversals add to the spread’s meaning. Reversed Tarot cards do not simply “flip” the meaning. Usually they indicate the issue is internal to the person asking the question. Think of it as the Tarot pointing at you and saying “this is what you need to work on”.

What Clients are Saying about Sophrosyne Tarot

I was advised to ask open-ended questions instead of predictive questions which I thought was helpful because I never would have known if it weren’t for the reader. The reader provided the reading along with some advice too so the entire reading was very thorough and explained in an understandable manner.

Everything said was accurate and helpful for me to identify my flaws in order to grow as a person. I have learned a lot about tarot and what it does to help me.
