Did things not go as expected? Are you experiencing regret, failure, disappointment or pessimism. The Five of Cups can appear when you have suffered a loss and are now moving through the grieving process.
The Five of Cups often appears when a situation hasn’t turned out the way you expected, and you are feeling regretful, and disappointed. The pain is real and you must move through it.
All you can focus on right now is what went wrong and how you failed. If you just looked around, you’d see that new opportunities are available to you. All you need to do is cross that bridge.
It’s time to get over it! Sure, feel the feels, but set yourself a time limit for your self-pity and then pull yourself together and move on. Do not let yourself get stuck in wallow mode. (I refer to this card as the wallower card)
Focus more on the present and not the past. Are you able to forgive and move on? Things will improve.
There’s something very positive on the horizon, but if you just look at what you’ve lost, you’re not going to be able to see what you can get. As they say “it’s water under the bridge”
These negative emotions are holding you back from your fullest potential – release them so you can move on and take action towards positive change. Forgiveness is vital now for yourself and others. If someone has disappointed you, find it within your heart to forgive that person (for you, not them!), and release yourself from the disappointment.
