All "Four" cards carry a sense of stability—or a need for it. The Cups suit, ruled by the element of water, deals with emotions and interpersonal matters. The hand in the Four of Cups isn't blind to the cup descending from the sky—it simply fears disrupting the current balance. The hand might genuinely desire that cup, but for one reason or another, cannot bring itself to reach for it. The risk of change is daunting.
The combination of the moon and crab pincers signifies the card’s correspondence to the Moon in Cancer. The moon inside the floating cup contrasts with the grounded ones, symbolizing its “external” or unfamiliar nature. The hand in a pensive pose expresses the internal turmoil and conflicting thoughts.
