The Five of Cups tarot card represents loss and grief. The grief that comes with being left behind, being alone, being isolated, being a reject. This is what comes when there is a breakdown in communication and collaboration. In situations in which there are no clear winners and losers, this card often shows up – it’s a result of the unspoken, but strong, resentment that comes with being left out. This card is mostly about sadness, being a prisoner, and the feeling of being ignored.
The Five of cups as a person indicates someone who is alone in their life. They will very rarely collaborate and they tend to isolate themselves from others, often to the detriment of their mental health. They feel sad a lot and have no idea how to end their sad mood. Five of cups people generally have a lot of trust issues, and they don’t really know what to expect from life. They have a hard time falling in love, and they need to heal from a lot of emotional traumas.
