Self-view here means trusting our inner voice, which reveals how we can lead a fulfilled and happy life. Through a temporary retreat from our everyday life, we try to find out new insights about ourselves and our further goals in life. The Four of Cups reveals a phase of withdrawal and introspection. The man lets the things almost apathetically happen around him and misses thereby the chance to extend his consciousness. None of which he has touched or perceived. There are already three cups in front of him on the ground. But the man spurns the heavenly offer and does not seize the opportunity for himself to attain new insights. The hand symbolizes the heavenly power and creation, which manifests itself in the earthly world and lets us participate in the divine happening. The man is so absorbed that he does not notice the chalice, which is offered before his eyes.Ī hand from the clouds, as we already know it from the Ace of Cups, offers him the cup, which is supposed to quench the man’s thirst for knowledge and insight. The trousers are blue and symbolize his mental abilities, his shirt is red and stands for his vitality and the green vest testifies his connection with nature. The clothing is simple and pragmatic so that he is neither too hot nor too cold during his contemplation. The man is strongly reminiscent of the images of the Buddha, who also found enlightenment in the open air under a tree. He sits under a tree that gives him shade and protects him from rain. He crossed his legs and his gaze is directed inward, just like meditating. The Four of Cups Tarot card shows a man sitting deeply absorbed under a tree.
