The image on the Four of Cups is often seen as synonymous with the story of Buddha beneath the Bodhi Tree. Contemplating the universe, Buddha forgets about everything else. While being so tuned into oneself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can mean that you’re overlooking the goodness coming to you from the rest of the world.
In essence, the Four of Cups carries with it this meaning and more. One reading can pertain to the individual who has become unmotivated due to the staleness of the daily routine. You’re depressed by the current state of affairs. In this case, the Four of Cups asks you to look within yourself to find out what you truly want. Turn your thoughts to your passions instead of roving for answers in the physical world.
On the other hand, you might be staring too hard at the situation that the attention to detail is crippling your ability to move. It is time to forget about whatever it is that’s troubling you. Instead, you should open your mind to new experiences and move on. There is so much you could be ignoring. If you continue to do so, the world will pass you by, and your situation won’t get any better.
