“Discontent and boredom” is certainly one apt facet of the Four of Cups energy. It’s not my favorite aspect, but it’s definitely a real one. It show up with the reality of living doesn’t have that “pretty, shiny, unicorn” aspect, as one of my Tarot peeps says.
Okay. Got it. This isn’t what you expected! Fair enough. The question now is, “Is it worth it? Do you need to make changes? Will the changes really change things?”
I see this particular card as a call to take stock. LOOK at what you’ve got, and not just the parts you don’t like. Is it serving you? If not, use those feelings of bother to outline what you’d like to be different. If it truly is, then start looking at how it’s serving you. The goal here is to turn up what feeds you while turning down what feels oppressive. Sometimes that’s an easy thing, and other times not. But if you’re antsy and restless, it’s either mostly the situation or mostly the mental approach to it.
Any way you dissect it, though, this feeling is a call for action. The action may be simply an attitude adjustment where you recall to mind what you are grateful for in your current circumstance. Or the action may be planning and moving to prepare for a whole new approach. Either way, no point in suffering needlessly. And while this energy is not especially comfortable, it does serve us in terms of drawing attention to what is not working, so we can work with it!
Are you feeling discontented? What does it tell you?

Boy howdy do I ever. I’m quitting my second internship today because even two days in, this is not as advertised. Very much not. Two days in, and I can see it. It’s going to be very uncomfortable for someone, for sure.
