Five of Cups
Upright
The little beagle feels devastated after knocking over three cups—just like the upright Five of Cups, which signifies a period of loss or emotional sorrow. It may stem from failed plans, relationships, or unmet expectations, resulting in inner disappointment and grief. While such sadness is a natural emotional response, this card reminds you not to dwell too deeply in negativity and to stay mindful of the opportunities that still remain.
Reversed
When the Five of Cups appears reversed, it indicates you may be beginning to recover from sorrow or disappointment and finding the motivation to move forward. This card in reverse encourages you to release the past, accept it, and begin seeking new opportunities. It marks an emotional turning point—one where you are more open to learning from past experiences instead of remaining trapped in regret and grief.
