Be sure that you are ‘counting your blessings.’ Don’t spend too much time in self-pity or wishing your life away. A lot of life has to do with where we put our focus. Put your focus on the things and people in your life that you have to be thankful for. Consider a gratitude journal.

The Four of Cups is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what ‘is’ now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about ‘what could be.’ It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

Reversed Cards: This card is connected to the moon, which we know has cycles. The new moon or dark moon is considered a protective aspect of the moon cycle. It hides, keeps them safe, and offers protection from prying eyes, which is how we can see the Four of Cups as well. Here in the protection aspect, you are safe to linger alone with your feelings, uninterrupted. Here on the dark side of the moon, it matters not if you move forward, stay still, or run around screaming. No one can see you here. You are safe to express your emotions and free to feel any way you see fit.

Complete Book of Tarot: Opinion is divided about whether one can predict the timing of events with the tarot. My own view based on experience is that the cards do not pinpoint exact times when a specific event is likely to occur. Astrology is more useful for this purpose. Instead, I view the tarot as a technique that empowers querents to clarify situations and effectively make decisions that will influence their future. What will happen in the future depends on how we think, feel, act, and decide in the present. If we change our pattern of thinking and our belief systems, the future will change with them. Let’s review some of the timing techniques suggested in the literature.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Justice card can mean that your situation involves injustice, unfairness, bias, or partiality. Matters may feel out of balance or tilted against you. Legal proceedings are likely to cause difficulties. Dishonesty may characterize your dealings with others.
