Five of Cups
The card at a glance
The Five of Cups mourns what has spilled while two upright cups remain outside the figure’s immediate gaze.
Upright
Grief, disappointment, and the honest work of acknowledging what cannot be restored.
Reversed
Acceptance, emotional recovery, and a gradual ability to recognize what still remains.
Questions to sit with
