There are four in the cup: sacred dissatisfaction and hidden products
This week, we drew four cups – the cosmic invitation beyond the eyes that were initially encountered. Like the contemplative laziness in our image, hanging from familiar branches, while invisible cups linger within reach, this card requires us to recognize what we might ignore due to emotional stagnation or habitual patterns.
Venus combines Saturn with the inspired full moon of Libra, with a powerful opportunity to get rid of emotional numbness and rediscover what really nourishes your soul. Four whispers of the cup: Your dissatisfaction is valid, but not complete.
Let’s explore what the four cups mean, why laziness is an ideal symbol of this energy, and how to browse this week’s cosmic weather with a new consciousness.
The nature of four cup cards
In the traditional Rider-Waite Tarot, a character sits under a tree with arms crossed and stares at the ground for three cups, while the fourth cup is provided by an invisible hand in the cloud. It’s not just boredom—it’s a critical moment between keeping emotions stagnant or accepting a divine gift that requires a change in perspective.
The main meanings of four cup cards:
- Emotional reassessment and reassessment
- Recognize when you are complacent or disconnected
- Opportunities that appear when you least expect
- Holy time and unexpected blessings
- Indifference is a signal that needs change
- Go beyond familiar things and find new inspiration
Four cups tell us that sometimes it feels like emptiness is actually a cleanup of new things.
Why be lazy?
Laziness in our artwork is not only a fascinating visual, it perfectly embodies the energy of four cups:
- Lazy intentionally, moving slowly, reminding us to take the time to rush through them with our emotions rather than rushing through them
- Its inverted perspective symbolizes how the shift in perspective reveals previously invisible
- The tendency of laziness to stay in one place for a long time reflects the tendency of our humans to stick to their emotional comfort zones
- Its quiet manner contrasts sharply with the inner turmoil – just the four characters in the cup appear calm while experiencing complex emotions
Like laziness, sometimes we need to hang in uncertainty before we can find something new.
Four cups in astrology this week
This week’s celestial alignment expands the energy of four cups in extraordinary ways:
- April 7-8: Saturn in Venus in Pisces invites you to check the relationship patterns that are no longer serving you. Four questions in the cup: Are you settled in love or creativity?
- April 9: The Libra full moon illuminates the relationship dynamics and brings emotional clarity. Do you refuse to see your contact with others?
- April 11-12: Mercury in Pisces clears the communication fog directly, helping you express your unnamed feeling.
- April 13: Venus begins to separate from Saturn, which provides emotional relief and new possibilities if you are willing to look up and notice them.
The whole week
Monday to Sunday: Emotional List
As the week begins, the powerful combination of Venus and Saturn, you may feel the weight of relationship patterns or creative obstacles. Like our lazy friends, it’s time to fall into discomfort, rather than swing quickly to the next branch.
Four cups ask you to take a look at your emotional landscape: Which connection does nourish you? Which have become habits rather than choices? Mercury’s direct movement helps clear the psychological fog, so you can see the difference between what you’re accepted and what you really want.
Reflect on the problem:
- I can feel the fullest emotion now?
- If I no longer focus on things that don’t work, what would I notice?
- Where do I say “yes” when my heart feels “maybe” or “no”?
Thursday to Friday: Dissatisfaction = Data
Libra’s full moon shines its brilliant light on the four energies of the cup on Wednesday, indicating that your dissatisfaction is not a problem, it’s the message. In the traditional card, the characters stare at three cups while ignoring the fourth cup offered from above. What sacred sacrifices have you overlooked, because what are you dissatisfied with?
This lunar lighting helps you recognize where balance is missing and shows you that when we no longer have certain situations, people often experience emotional disconnection, but have not yet admitted it.
Reflect on the problem:
- What relationship patterns are constantly repeating in my life?
- Where do I crave more reciprocity or balance?
- What happens if I see my dissatisfaction as a compass rather than a burden?
Weekend: Choose wisely
As Venus begins to separate from Saturn’s restrictive embrace, a new path to love, creativity, or self-expression becomes visible. The four energy of the cup changes from contemplation to choice, which is the treasure you are seeking to reveal your “jungle temple moment”, but only if you are willing to look up and reach for it.
This weekend offers the opportunity to get rid of emotional stagnation and choose in different ways. Remember: The fourth cup in this card is always there – you are ready to receive the preparation that it is changing.
Reflect on the problem:
- What should I do if I know I won’t fail?
- What should I respect when it is open?
- What little move would show myself that I have something new ready?

Four cups across living areas
relation
This card encourages honest assessment of emotional patterns. Do you have less time to settle than you should? Or ignore the beauty you already have? Four cups require you to neither idealize nor weaken your connection, but to see them clearly.
Profession
It’s time to recognize when you’ve surpassed certain professional situations. Your dissatisfaction with your work may not burn out – this may be evolution. Look for unexpected opportunities that don’t fit your original plan but exactly match your growth.
Personal growth
If you’ve been emotionally numb or disconnected, four cups can confirm this as part of your journey, rather than a permanent destination. The card appears when you are ready to blend in with the real feeling again.
The spiritual lessons of four cups
Four cups teach that God’s gifts are often disguised as, especially when we focus on other places. Spiritual growth sometimes takes a period of dissatisfaction to create space for things that are more consistent with our souls.
It’s not about forcing gratitude or eliminating the feeling of effectiveness. It’s about recognizing our perspectives limit or extending what we can accept.
Working with the energy of four cups this week
- Practice daily “Perspective Transformation” meditation
- Keep a “hidden blessing” diary that points out unexpected gifts that appear when you least expect them
- Take a different route home, eat in a new restaurant, or release a little habit to refresh your perspective
- Repeat this mantra: “I’m willing to receive it in unexpected ways”
Conclusion: Find and receive
This week, you don’t need to force yourself to get rid of emotional meditation. Like our thoughtful lazy friends, sometimes uncertainty happens to be the place to grow. Four cups remind you that God’s timing is at work even in unsatisfactory times.
This week, respect your feelings while keeping unexpected products. The cup you’ve been waiting for may linger within reach – if you just want to look up and notice it.
