Blended Pleasures : the Four of Cups


It came to me today, as I was contemplating the cards and reading my new books that I may have misinterpreted a card in a reading I did on Halloween while at BAM for Rachel (Leider).
I don't know why I remember her having pulled this card. With the quantity of people I read that day, it really could have been anyone.
The four of cups tells an interesting story. That of the boy on the mountain, so focused on the three cups before him that he misses the sole cup being handed to him from behind, like a gift from the sky. This was exactly the story I told her.
I ridiculously forgot about the meaning inherent throughout the suit of cups. Emotions, Love, Intuition. And for this I feel ridiculous.
The sentence mentioned to remember this card is: 'I realize my love and emotions, but I am still thinking about past loves'.
I should have known.
Here are some newfound contemplations on the card as per what I have read today.

Upright:


    • While the person may be involved in a current relationship, he or she is still very much focused on past love experiences which may not be positive.
    • Make them aware of the potential for a new love relationship
    • The querent may be depressed. They can overcome this depression with a new mental attitude
    • Encourage them to let go of old habits and 'routines'. It's okay to make new ones! Perhaps with a new long term partner. But for this to happen they must let go.
    • Seek sexual balance.
    • Try to pay attention to the little miracles in life. Love, being together, friends, little attentions. Be positive.

Reversed

    • The Querent may be emotionally drained
    • Unhappy love affair may be in question

    • Dissapointed in love or sexually

    • Fear of commitment due to fear of rejection

    • Boredom - separation or loss

    • Perhaps the querent has unrealistic expectations of their lovers


    • This interpretation should immediately be communicated to Rachel. I have emailed her to ask if in fact she pulled the card, such that I could communicate this to her.

      • I hope I can fix what I have said to put her back on the right track. I believe she pulled it upright.
