Five of Cups ∪

What the card shows

A cloaked figure mourns three spilt cups while two still stand. The card honours loss and gently points to what remains.

Acknowledge what did not work while leaving room to see what is still here.

Cups belong to water. They hold feeling, relationships, intuition and imagination. Cups cards ask what moves you and how you care for yourself and others.
