Four of Cups

“I feel out of place in this spring.”

Vision

People cluster around the ladder to pluck heavenly fruits, but the winged Miss Crow is unmoved by their fervency. She mocks those vying for chances yet envies them secretly. Leaning against a pale old tree, she anticipates the belated spring.

Message

I’m eager to see how this card plays out in different contexts. For me, it reminds me of feeling like an outsider among friends. These memories of friendships tinged with loneliness make me doubt my truthfulness. Of course, social ennui is just one aspect of the card. In brighter situations, it reveals a wisdom of restraint and non-competitiveness.
