Five of Cups Tarot Card Combinations and Meanings
Suit Element:
Water, female, passive energy - emotions Keywords and Phrases: Disappointment. Sadness. Five of Cups Tarot Card Meanings The image in the Five of Cups displays a moody sky as the knight laments the spilt and tarnished cups beside him, representing disappointment. Something is lost yet something still remains, shown by the two golden and upright cups that he currently fails to see behind him. The Five of Cups brings a sense of sadness and loss; things may not have gone as you hoped leaving you upset and disappointed. It can suggest feeling let down or sometimes a betrayal but, in whichever way it applies, it brings disenchantment and regrets over what has transpired. In relationship readings there could be disappointment and tears although not always permanent, (as a mid-point card I would prefer to see it accompanied by stronger indications for that scenario). Someone may not live up to your expectations but, emotionally, something is lost along the way. If reversed or ill-dignified it provides a more hopeful view and recovery of sorts, though not usually a complete reversal of the meaning. It can help to heal hurts or to move on but wounds are still present.
