In the Tarot, the Five of Cups is *the* Card of mourning and moral pain. You are disappointed with the current events and circumstances. You gave everything, tried everything… but things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to. You have lost a battle and what you have left is fatigue, sadness and bitterness.
The Five of Cups indicates that you are clinging to memories, to the past. You would like so much to be able to go back, not to have gone through this ordeal or not to have made such and such a mistake. It is possible that regrets – or remorse! – make you feel very guilty.
The Five of Cups has appeared to accompany you to the next stage, to tell you that it is time to enter into a new dynamic and resume your journey. It’s not about playing ostrich, it’s about understanding what happened. It’s about not making the same mistakes and moving forward with resilience.
Despite the pain, despite the disappointments, two Cups are still in place. The Five of Cups therefore invites you to see – as much as possible – what you still have and what you can rely on to come out of this even stronger ordeal. Feel Gratitude for the content of these Cups and apply yourself to looking ahead.
In a Money or Abundance Draw, the Five of Cups indicates that you are having difficulty managing your budget. Forgive yourself for any management mistakes you may have made and make a commitment not to repeat them. The Five of Cups can also herald a financial loss or a setback in your financial plans. Go “round the back” and learn the right lessons from this situation.
If you are looking for Love, the Five of Cups indicates that you probably still have a long way to go in terms of emotional healing to be ready to welcome a new person into your Heart and your life. You may still have feelings for someone or you haven’t quite “digested” a break-up yet.
The Five of Cups can also indicate that the person with whom you were planning to build a stable relationship is not on the same page and that saddens you greatly. Perhaps you were expecting too much from this relationship too soon? Maybe this person is not for you? The key is to understand how you operate and what you expect from others to move forward and finally meet *the* right person.
If you are in a relationship, the Five of Cups indicates that your relationship is riddled with problems, communication difficulties. This generates a lot of sadness and incomprehension on both sides. You have already cried a lot, hoped a lot … but your relationship is not living up to your expectations. If the point of no return is reached, give yourself a chance to find *the* partner who will build the relationship with you that you want and deserve.
Ask for help if needed, especially if you’ve been struggling with some emotions and personal challenges.
