The Four of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

inaction or stagnation ~ greed and self interest ~ withdrawing or running away ~ looking inward ~ isolation ~

-Self, self, self-

As Groucho Marx once said: "I'm fed up of talking about me. What do you think of me?" The Four of Cups sends just such a message. It is the card of self absorption - those times or that part of us which is disinterested in anyone or anything else outside ourselves. When in this state we do not usually notice how we are affecting others - in fact we may not notice others at all!

Sometimes this is appropriate. There are times when we need to just focus on ourselves. Perhaps we have a history of taking care of others first, or perhaps we have been focussed on a work activity and need to reintroduce balance to our lives by taking care of number one for a change. The crucial word is balance.
