Five of Cups
Two cups still stand behind you.
The Five of Cups is the card of grief, regret, and the spilled cups that can't be unspilled. A figure stands hooded, mourning three fallen cups, missing the two still standing behind him. The card is honest about loss, and gentle about what's still left.
Upright
- Loss
- Regret
- Grief
- Disappointment
Drawing this card often means you're in a season of mourning. The card asks for the grief to be honored. It also, eventually, asks you to turn around.
Reversed
- Acceptance
- Moving on
- Forgiveness
Reversed, the Five of Cups is the lifting of grief. You're starting to feel the two cups behind you again, the things that didn't fall, the people who stayed. It can also mean acceptance has begun its quiet work.
It can also point to staying in the grief past its time. The Five reversed asks if mourning has become an identity, and what it might look like to let it finish.
