Okay, so today I’m messing around with this “5 of Cups” tarot card, trying to figure out what it means when it pops up in a reading, especially about feelings. It’s a card that always makes me pause, you know? It’s got this vibe that’s hard to ignore.
I started by laying out the card in front of me. It’s got this picture of a person, all cloaked up, looking super down, with three cups spilled over and two still standing. It just screams sadness and loss, right? So, I grabbed my journal and started jotting down the first things that came to mind.
- Loss
- Regret
- Disappointment
- Grief
Feeling kind of bummed already, I decided to dig a little deeper. I flipped through some of my tarot books. Yeah, I’ve got a few, don’t judge. They all talked about the same stuff – this card is about focusing on what’s gone wrong, what you’ve lost, instead of what you still have. It’s like being so caught up in your sadness that you can’t see the good stuff that’s still around.
Diving Deeper into the 5 of Cups
So, I spent some time just staring at the card, thinking about times I’ve felt like this. You know, those moments where you mess up, and all you can think about is the mistake, not how to fix it or what you’ve learned. I wrote all that down, too. It felt kind of therapeutic, to be honest. Getting it all out there, even if it was just in my messy handwriting in a journal no one else will probably ever read.
Then I started thinking, what if this card isn’t just about being sad? What if it’s a reminder? A reminder to acknowledge your feelings, sure, but also to look at those two cups still standing. What do they represent? Hope? Opportunities? I scribbled down some more thoughts. Maybe this card is telling us it’s okay to grieve, but don’t get stuck there. There’s always something to hold onto, something to look forward to.
I ended up spending a good chunk of my day with this one card. I doodled around the edges of my journal pages, sipped a lot of coffee, and just let myself feel all the feels. It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but a good one. I realized that the 5 of Cups isn’t just about the negative stuff. It’s about the whole picture – the loss, the pain, but also the resilience, the hope. And that’s a pretty powerful message, if you ask me.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into the 5 of Cups feelings. It’s a journey, man. But a worthwhile one. I hope this helps others that draw this card.
