![]() Fives are a crisis point, and this is an emotional emergency.įortunately, not everything may be as negative as it seems. They’ve suffered a material loss, so you may be experiencing feelings of insecurity or a lack of safety. They’re mourning, so you may be grieving a loss. The figure is alone, so you may be feeling lonely. The Five of Cups indicates the presence of a lot of negative emotions. ![]() See also: Check out Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot decks here. This isn’t a bad thing, but, if they choose to stay in this phase, they’ll never get around to refilling their goblets. The presence of the stream indicates that this person could refill their spilled cups at any time, but is taking time to mourn their loss first. The figure doesn’t seem to notice the two goblets that haven’t spilled, and has chosen to focus on the three that have. Three are spilled and empty, but two still remain. Taken together, there’s a cloaked, probably crying figure standing amidst five golden goblets. It doesn’t resemble the towns and cities that appear in Pamela Colman Smith’s illustrations for the other tarot cards, and it may actually be a ruin. This element is said to govern feelings.īehind the stream, there’s a building. As was mentioned above, the suit of Cups is tied to the element of Water. In the background, there’s a bridge over a small stream. Two sit behind the cloaked figure, still upright. Three are tipped on their sides, with puddles of red and green liquid on the ground around them. In the foreground, five cups are visible. ![]() While the viewer can’t see the figure’s face, they’re hunched over with their face buried in their cloak. In the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, it’s illustrated as a figure in a long black cloak. The Five of Cups is unambiguously about grief and loss. Keywords (Reversed): Healing, acceptance, re-emerging, moving on.Keywords: Grief, loss, sorrow, unwelcome changes.In the suit of Cups, which is governed by the element of Water and represents the emotions, this means a stage of deep grief and emotional crisis. Aces mark the beginning, Twos are when plans and elements come together, and everything ramps up to a climax, then progresses to the dénouement.įives are when things reach a boiling point. Not sure if that would count as a two of cups sort of thing.Every suit in the Minor Arcana tells a story. However, with him not being there for me during this time, I'll probably just tell them to send it to him themselves. It's possible I'll get a few emails with those letters and I'll forward it to him. I think it'll be something like that, like a little moment of peace but not much in the way of mending our bond.Īlso, before he broke up with me, I told all his friends and family to write letters for him I can put in a book for him for his birthday. I also just found out some sad news from a friend, so it's possible that I share it with him and he offers a hug. it's possible that he might call to apologize about the way he handled things, but not necessarily to get back together. The two might not be the ultimate reconciliation, everything in its right place. But, as someone once said here, not even a monkey could misinterpret this haha. That's what I was looking for, a slightly different take. Any thoughts would be really appreciated. So I'll have to keep that passion to myself. Maybe it just means my desire to be with him will make things difficult, as he doesn't want to be with me. That card brings bad news for me more often than not. I'm in a feeling place right now, and I desire to feel good.Īnd The Lovers. Ten of Cups has been creeping up on me for months now. Or perhaps to take my fair share of blame. He isn't someone that can love me, and I need to lay down my swords and walk away. With the five of swords, perhaps the lesson here is that I lost. Maybe he'll give me a call at some point, but I don't see it being all that fulfilling. I hurt too bad to be able to say, "Ok, let's dial this back and just be friends." The prior could happen with divine intervention, but the latter most certainly won't. And I'm far too hurt to consider being friends. What could this mean if it doesn't mean having a heart to heart? Because I don't see that happening. So, the Two of Cups was in the outcome position. "I'm in pain and you wanna put this pretty card in my spread?"Ī couple other cards in the spread were Lovers (under obstacles), Ten of Cups (in my hopes, fears and desires), and five of swords (lessons and signs). And I actually got kind of mad at the cards for putting this in my face. I didn't ask a specific question at all as the positions tell the story. I didn't ask if we will get back together, or even if there is hope. ![]() ![]() I did a ten card spread that takes into account both parties perspectives and influences. So what does this lady do in hard times? Turn to her cards. I'm still sore and ache-y from the shock. ![]()
