LORD OF BLENDED PLEASURE<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

MOON IN CANCER<\/span><\/h3>

Where do you go from ABUNDANCE of the Three of Cups<\/a>? The overflowing cups of luxury of the three of cups eventually become benign in the Four of Cups, which is Chesed<\/a>\u00a0(Mercy) in Briah, the world of Creativity (Water).\u00a0<\/p>

At a first glance every combination of the Four of Cups flows smoothly (no pun intended). \u00a0Chesed is a realm of Jupiter – a planet of growth and expansion. Jupiter is actually exalted in the sign of Cancer. And which planet rules Cancer? Why, the Moon, of course. What a chummy crowd, right?\u00a0<\/p>

And yet, this card is a sobering reminder that when you have too much of everything at every minute – it might just become – well…. not enough. \u00a0This is the ultimate card of ‘familiarity breeding contempt.’ \u00a0All the elements of this card are jut being too polite with each other. \u00a0Think about it as being at a party where everyone smiles and compliments each other. \u00a0Might seem lovely for the first hour. \u00a0Afterward, however, you start wishing for a good scandal to break up the monotony. \u00a0<\/p>

Thus when the Four of Cups is the ultimate reminder that when there is too much of a good thing – there is no way to go but down.\u00a0<\/p>

SYMBOLISM<\/span><\/h3>

In this Four of Cups, we see a very melancholy girl sitting in front of a rushing river (water – Briah – Cups).\u00a0 She extends her hand to the water, as if trying to capture a moment in time. \u00a0Yet the cups are fleeting. They are slowly drifting away.\u00a0 The Moonlight reminds us of the planet ruling this card.<\/p>
