Four of Cups
The Fool now finds himself fed up at the Four of Cups. The good times of the Three of Cups have passed, and here The Fool sits staring at the lost times. He stagnates as his discontent and boredom with a situation cause him to wallow in his own past. A malaise has stepped in, and he is feeling sorry for himself. He does not notice the Ace of Cups being offered from the clouds, so he misses a new opportunity as he stays focused on what has been and what cannot be recaptured.
We can become dissatisfied, bored, and frustrated, and a general malaise sets in as we become fixated on how things were in the past or how we wish they were, and we get lost in thoughts that only bring us down.
Has apathy set in? Can you not be bothered? Has the goodness of a situation evaporated along with your optimism? Here, we can completely fail to see the openings, chances, and opportunities around us. They are there or can be created, but we sit and dwell instead.
This card finds us lost in thought and feeling sorry for ourselves, often over what we cannot have and what we do have, and even if it is a serious matter or unjust, wallowing will not help.
The Four of Cups can show us dissatisfaction with life or a situation, fuelled by self-pity, being lost in thoughts, sulking, or pondering what the point is. The answer is to kick yourself in the butt, shake it off, dig deep, and make some changes.
Take a fresh look at life.

Pam gave me a couple other readings 4 years ago and now I’m back, looking for advice on some personal matter. Pam clarified the situation well and gave me really good advice. I’ll be be back soon, life is giving us so much homework, that it’s difficult to keep up with everything, and a good insight on certain situations is always welcome.

Hi Pam - a wonderful tarot reading, thank you! It does have some meaning for me, as this year holds many changes at work, and I need to have patience with what I want in the future. Looks like a good year ahead for me!

Had a challenging issue which I turned to Pam for, we carefully went through the questions I had and how best to get them slotted into the reading to get the best out of it.
I felt Pam's style was upfront and honest., she managed my expectations from the start. Told me when to expect the reading and the payment section was smooth.
I got what I needed from the reading and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pam's services to anyone.
