Five of Cups

  • loss
  • grief
  • forgiveness
  • acceptance

Upright

Three cups have spilled and your gaze is fixed on the loss, while behind you two full cups still stand upright. This is the card of grief and regret, but also a quiet message that not everything is lost. When you turn around, you will see what remains, and the bridge that leads home.

Reversed

The tears run dry and the weight of regret slowly falls from your shoulders — forgiveness, above all toward yourself, opens the door to healing. The sky leads you out of the shadow of loss and into the light of what is still to come.
