Five of Cups

Element: Water

---

Upright: Melancholy, loss of hope, sadness causing isolation, grieving over losses while unaware that supportive people and things still remain.

Reversed: Losing all support intensifies grief, denial and emotional repression, or recognizing what remains and recovering more quickly.

Card Description: A cloud boy in a black cloak mourns three toppled cups, their contents spilled onto the ground. Immersed in the pain of loss, he fails to notice the two upright cups still standing behind him.
