![]() ![]() Paired with the Lovers card, look for a breakup to be devastating. Too many Swords in Tarot cards around the Five of Cups mean that your current depression or sorrow is based more in arguments and disagreements than it is in a truly tragic occurrence affecting you. A Tarot reading that features the suit of Pentacles and the Five of Cups indicates that financial pressures are driving you to feel sorry for yourself.

If there are a lot of other Cups cards in your reading, your emotional responses are at the core of your current situation.

PlacementĮach Tarot reading features cards spread out in one of three positions: the past, present or future. The bridge and town mean that there will be other times and places for life to go on, far away from the current misery. The river is a symbol of all things moving on. And yet the card gives its recipients hope amidst the gloom. Obviously the black cloak and gray sky, the spilled cups and the overall isolation of the figure ensure that this card is about heartache, loss, sorrow, isolation and mourning. There is a lot going on in the card that is overt, and yet quite a bit of the imagery is a subtle push for optimism. Behind this sorrowful person stand two upright Cups. Three of them are lying on their sides and the contents of them are spilled out, wasted. In the distance a simple stone bridge crosses it, and the outskirts of a town are beyond. The bleak landscape features a brook running by to the viewe’s left. The biggest tragedy of this card just might be the guilt factor. That the person pictured in it is hiding the face in a sort of shame indicates that the person receiving this card may have been complicit in a tragedy. The black cloak obscures everything but this person’s boots and the back of his or her hair, with just a slight part of the side of the face exposed, although no features can be made out. Under an empty gray sky and a deserted landscape, a cloaked figure turns away, hiding his or her face. ![]()
