Three of Cups and Four of Cups

The celebration and the flatness after it. The Four is a figure with three cups untouched in front of him and a fourth being offered from a cloud, which he is not looking at. The tradition reads this run as the specific emptiness that follows company.

Associated with feeling apart from people you are fond of. Read as a state rather than a judgement about them.

Disengagement after a good period. Frequently read where nothing is wrong and nothing is landing.

The fourth cup is still being held out at the end of the Four. The pair reads this as temporary and as requiring the person to look up rather than the offer to improve.
