Yesterday, I was reading some tarot-related stuff and got curious about this “Four of Cups reversed” card. I’ve always been into tarot, but I’m no expert, just a casual dabbler, you know? So, I thought, why not try a little experiment myself and see what all the fuss is about.
First off, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s nothing fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up a while back. I gave the cards a good shuffle, thinking about a simple “yes or no” question in my mind. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of mystery in their life, right?
I decided to keep it simple and pulled out just one card. As I was shuffling, I kept thinking about a personal dilemma—not sharing the details here, gotta keep some secrets, haha. Anyways, I pulled the card, flipped it over, and guess what? It was the Four of Cups, but reversed.

According to what I’ve read:
- If it’s upright, it’s supposed to be a “yes.”
- But if it’s reversed, it’s a “no.”
And mine was reversed. So, technically, that’s a “no” to my question. But here’s the thing, the Four of Cups reversed is also about being open to new possibilities, ending a period of stagnation, and letting love in, or something along those lines. Not bad, eh?
My takeaway?
Well, it’s not just about the “yes” or “no.” It made me think about how I might be closing myself off to some good stuff, even in my little experiments. Maybe I’ve been stuck in a rut, not just with this question, but in other areas of my life too. It’s like the cards were giving me a little nudge, a wake-up call.
I’m not gonna lie; it was pretty cool to see how a single card could make me reflect on things. I went in with a simple question and came out with some food for thought. Tarot, even for a newbie like me, can be surprisingly insightful. It’s like a mirror, reflecting back what you might be overlooking.
So, that’s my little adventure with the Four of Cups reversed. Not exactly a life-changing event, but definitely a fun little experiment. And hey, it gave me something to share with you all. Maybe I’ll try this again sometime, who knows what other cards I might pull, and what other little insights I might gain. Life’s full of surprises, right? And sometimes, a little deck of cards can help you see them a bit more clearly.
