Five of Cups

Upright

grief · loss · regret · focusing on what's gone · sorrow

Three cups have spilled but two remain standing. The Five of Cups is absorbed in mourning what was lost — and the grief is real and valid. But the full story is not only loss. When you are ready, look to what remains. Some things survived.

Reversed

acceptance · moving on · recovering from loss · forgiveness

Grief is beginning to lift and vision is slowly widening past the loss. The period of mourning has been necessary, but there is now movement toward acceptance and recovery. What remains is starting to feel like enough.
