正位牌义
Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary vexations, as if the wine of this world had caused satiety only; another wine, as if a fairy gift, is now offered the wastrel, but he sees no consolation therein. This is also a card of blended pleasure.
逆位牌义
Novelty, presage, new instruction, new relations.
这张牌在做什么
It represents the fatigue of satiety: the closed heart that has had enough. It appears when you are offered something new and do not yet want it. The fourth cup is the opening you are refusing to notice.
文化与传统的读法
In the traditional reading the Four is weariness, disgust and imaginary vexations. It has long been read as satiety with the wine of the world, and by reversal as novelty and new instruction. The hand offers; the figure broods.
