Four of Cups in Career

How this card reads for work, vocation, ambition, and professional direction.

Four of Cups in Career — Upright

Disengagement at the desk — competent, present, elsewhere. An opportunity may be on offer that boredom has already dismissed. Re-read it before declining.

Four of Cups in Career — Reversed

Motivation returning, or the clarity that the role itself is the flat cup. Both are progress; act on whichever is true.
