If you are single, the Five of Cups may indicate that you are gripped by sadness or despair about a past relationship that was not successful. You feel as if "The One" has slipped through your fingers and you are not paying attention to potential partners as you are focused on your sense of loss. You may also be consumed with remorse, regret, or guilt over mistakes you made in a previous relationship.
The Five of Cups is also a card of loss and as such can signify the loss of a loved one.
If you have lost a partner, the Five of Cups could mean that you are isolating yourself as you feel heartbroken to think of dating someone.
If you're in a relationship, Five of Cups could mean separation or divorce. It could also mean that you are still harboring old feelings for your ex, instead of giving yourself 100% emotionally to your current relationship.
Work & career
Five of Cups can mean job loss or business collapse. If you are in business, it can also mean a business partner or staff member is leaving the company or it can mean you are leaving the business or abandoning a business plan. Although this indicates an unwelcome, difficult change in circumstances, there is still something that can be salvaged from the situation, so try not to let anger, frustration, or despair conquer you.
It can also mean a career in grief or trauma counseling.
In financial matters, Five of Cups can mean financial loss, so now is not the time to make investments.
If you have suffered a recent loss, Five of Cups may indicate that you will receive some type of inheritance.
Card of the day
If you were counting on something, you thought the matter was settled and you rejoiced in advance, prepare for confusion. In today's day, it is possible that everything will go wrong.
