Thought the energy of the 5 of cups indicates loss or disappointment it is also a reminder that every loss opens new possibilities for growth because every loss initiates change. Many times loss hurts because it is our emotional resistance to change. No matter how much we accept intellectually that we must go with the flow if the “flow” separates us from something we love our initial feeling say “no” very strongly.
The energy associated with the 5 of Cups can alert you to the possibilities of a loss and make you aware of the emotional toll that it entails. The 5 of Cups may indicate the end of a relationship or the end of a phase in a relationship. Either way, you are feeling disappointed. It could mean that you are at a new phase in the relationship and you are missing the way things were. You may feel adrift and unable to face the current situation, whether it is moving forward in the new phase of the relationship, or moving forward without a partner. No matter what the current situation you need to re-order and re-evaluate priorities. You may use this card as a warning to help you avoid loss, or at least reduce its toll, forewarned is forearmed.
If you are single this energy could represent that you are feeling lonely but do not have any hope of having a happy relationship. Again let go of the past and pick up the pieces and move forward. You still have something to offer and you are still an important person no matter what has gone before. Two cups are still standing that means you are still standing too.
