The Four of Cups is the card of apathy, contemplation, disconnection, indifference and boredom. This card shows a young man in deep thought and meditation. He is so absorbed in his own thoughts that he doesn't notice an outstretched arm offering him a cup. Other Three Cups are at his feet, but he doesn't notice them either.
The Four of Cups reminds us that gratitude is a critical element of any successful relationship. Don't be so self-centered that you don't see the wonderful opportunities for happiness around you. Don't focus so much on what you don't have that you neglect what you do have. The Four of Cups is a reminder and a warning to be grateful for what we have.

Four of Cups reversed as a person
If the reversed Four of Cups appears in the Tarot as a person, it means that this person is proud of his indifference. They know their priorities in life are all wrong, but they won't do anything to change them. They can also go from a tendency to worry too much to worry too little. Because it is a Minor Arcana card, some of these characteristics will not be inherent aspects of your identity. If they are behaving unfavorably, they may just be going through a temporary phase. It could be a pattern of behavior that they can still unlearn if they want to. Good or bad, no one is perfect and people can use their free will to change for the better.
