Five of Cups
- grief
- loss
- regret
- what remains
Upright
It hurts, and it is allowed to. The Five of Cups shows someone mourning three spilled cups who has not yet turned toward the two still standing. In your question, it asks you to give grief its place. But when you are ready, look back over your shoulder. Not everything is lost.
Reversed
You are beginning to release a sorrow, or you have become stuck in it. Perhaps you are starting to see what remains, or regret has become a place where you stay too long. The Five of Cups reversed asks you to forgive yourself. What would it take for you to turn around?
