There’s a simplistic reading to this spread which says: friendships should not be taken for granted. They require practical effort to be sustained. That is absolutely true, and message enough on its own.
Read a little deeper, however, and consider the invitation of the Four of Cups to give attention to how well our emotional circumstances serve us. Are there relationships we need to reevaluate? Are we giving our time and attention to people out of habit, rather than because there is genuine mutual satisfaction derived from the relationship? Who within our circles are close friends and who, simply acquaintances? It is so easy to spread ourselves too thinly. We would therefore do well to be clear with ourselves this week where our efforts are best concentrated.
Have a good week and stay safe x
