My Interpretation: You may feel bored right now. Don’t allow yourself to fall into an emotional withdrawal or become self-absorbed. This is a time for finding your emotional stability.
Number Significance: 4 – Foundation, Structure, Stability
Thoughts/Points to Ponder: The 4 of Cups is ruled by the Moon in Cancer. Burdock is ruled by Venus. The 4 of Wands is in Constellation 4 with IV Emperor, XIII Death, 0 Fool, and the Fours. Completion and Transition. Establishing and Building. Releasing. Mortality and Immortality. Rites of Passage.
Why is this woman sitting there looking bored? Does she not want what is being offered to her? Is she so absorbed in her own thoughts that she doesn't even notice the hand offering her the cup?
