So yesterday we had a look at the downside of the Four of Cups card which is The Ungrateful Wretch. And I suggested you have a look at the picture and guess what the positive meaning might be. This is the best way to learn how to read Tarot cards. Did you give it a go?

Here’s how I see it…A gift is being offered to the man in the card. Handed to him on a plate. Something emotionally satisfying. Whether or not he grabs it is up to him but the gift is there for the taking. This is the upside of the Four of Cups card.

How do you know when to take the Four of Cups in the positive versus the negative way? Well, that will depend on the nature of the other cards that turn up in the reading and the situation you are dealing with. Be guided by your intuition if all else fails.

Truth be told, as a non-psychic Tarot card reader I can’t always work out what the darn things are telling me and I’ve been doing this for decades. But a lot of the time I figure that if the message is muddy maybe I don’t need to know the answer. I’m a glass half-full kind of girl like that.

Did you have a go at guessing the positive meaning of the Four of Cups? There could be others beside the one I’ve suggested. Remember, Tarot cards come in many shades. Please share any alternative meanings below.
