Five of Cups Tarot Card Meaning
Minor Arcana, suit of Cups
grief, disappointment, what remains
The card
A figure in a black cloak bows over three spilled cups, while two cups still stand upright behind him. Across the river, a bridge leads toward a small castle. The card gives room to sorrow and loss, and gently asks you, in your own time, to turn around and see what is still standing.
Upright meaning
Grief and regret fix your eyes on what was lost, yet two cups still stand behind you.
Reversed meaning
Acceptance begins: you turn around, forgive and notice what remains.
