Five of Cups
Five of Cups is a Minor Arcana tarot card.
Five of Cups from the Rider–Waite tarot deck
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games.[1]
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]
Interpretation
This card can carry a meaning of dejection, disappointment and sorrow over past events. It can also represent a blindness to good in a given situation. Although the person pictured on the card has lost three cups, two still stand, and he or she fails to appreciate what is left. A river flows under a bridge leading to a safe destination, and yet they focus on their three lost cups.
