Summary
This is part two in a four-part series on the Tarot suit of Cups. (I highly recommend listening to episode 1 first and then returning to this one, if you haven't already! The episodes build on each other in some ways.)
In this installment, join me for an exploration of:
- the 4 of Cups as a card of apathy, restlessness, and boredom - and how to shift out of this state to receive help and inspiration from the Universe
- the consequences of forgetting to "look up" to the heavens and getting caught up in day-to-day life
- the 5 of Cups as a card of deep, sometimes paralyzing grief and disconnection from Spirit
- the 6 of Cups as a card of nostalgia - and how that sense of longing for (or idealizing) the past can sometimes prevent us from being present now
- the healing power of laying the past to rest

| 0:46.3 | This is the second episode in a four-part series exploring the tarot suit of cups. |
| 0:52.6 | These episodes build on each other in some ways, and I refer to the cards back and forth. |
| 0:59.1 | So if you haven't listened to episode number one in the series, I recommend going back to |
| 1:03.9 | that first and then returning to this one. |
| 1:07.8 | And let's get right into it. |
| 1:09.6 | So we're picking up with our next card in the suit, which is the Four of Cups. |
| 1:14.8 | Now this is a card of apathy, boredom, disconnection, restlessness, and taking what we have for granted. |
| 1:23.3 | Almost like forgetting to be grateful for what we have. |
| 1:29.3 | You can see on the card that there's a figure sitting underneath a tree looking down at the ground with kind of this empty stare. |
| 1:36.0 | This figure has got his arms and legs crossed, which is a sign of close-mindedness and lack of |
