Day 1: Four of Cups

My personal card for this journey of taking this tarot course is the 4 of Cups. don't often pick this card- I don't remember a recent reading that featured this card; but it stood out to me today. The image is of a woman looking to the left, while her arm reaches out, away from her, towards a hand holding out a cup. She doesn't see/notice the three cups within her reach, or perhaps she is bored with them and wants something else (intangible, unseen, desired?). Her face looks unhappy at worst or apathetic at best. I can't tell if she is passively holding her arm up, not even aware of the gift that is being offered to her; or if she is actively seeking/reaching but cannot see that what she is reaching for is so close/nearly there. I do not think this is a "happy" card, but it is one about wanting or needing to find possibility or a different way- about emotional growth and change (Cups suite).

"I am" exercise for the 4 of Cups
I am the 4 of Cups. I signal a sign of hope in the midst of confusion or uncertainty. You only need to reach out and grab me, and take control of your destiny. I would like you to look at me and notice the gift that is being offered you, all that you have worked for as within reach if only you shift your perspective. I am ready to meet you, should you be curious, and open, and ready.
