Five of Cups

The Five of Cups symbolizes feelings of disappointment, sadness, and possibly even resentment.

Upright position meaning

Pulling the Five of Cups upright often represents feelings of disappointment, sadness, and possibly even resentment. You're feeling these things because the situation you were hoping would turn out for you didn't. A self-pitying feeling surrounds you and overall, you're feeling extremely disappointed. You may have missed an opportunity or didn't have something go the way you wanted it to.

Reversed position meaning

When the Five of Cups is reversed, it often means you're accepting the past and what you did, or didn't do, during that time. No matter the outcome of the situation, you've accepted it and are learning to move past it. You may even be learning to appreciate certain lessons learned during a past time. The present is a healing time for you. You're learning what consequences surround what you did, but you're choosing to accept those consequences.

Advice meaning

The Five of Cups is representative of the past. It's asking you to learn from the past, instead of feeling resentful of it.
