Thirteen
There is this thread discussing at length the strange look of our 4/Cups vampire bride (she's in a bridal gown with a bouquet), but I noticed that in that thread is there is little discussion about the card meaning. So here is a thread just for the 4/Cups.
4's are about stability, but when it comes to emotional cups, that translates to restlessness. 4/Cups is often about discontent or boredom, like someone in a good if routine relationship trying to find excitement on the internet--which might not satisfy that restlessness either.
I think we see all this in this card. As mentioned in the other thread, this is vampiric maiden seems to be trapped in-between in every way. Not maiden or wife, but forever a bride, not living nor dead (undead), tightly confined in a coffin. The doors beyond her act, I think, as the "fourth cup" we usually see floating in the RW 4/Cups. She may not be looking toward that exit, but going out might be something she tries if she grows too bored with her current "stable" situation. There is a feeling to 4/Cups and this card of something that wants to move--but hadn't done so yet. Perhaps she's holding off going out and feeding and competing becoming a vampire?
Other thoughts?
