The Five of Cups is like standing in the rain, focusing on the three spilled cups while ignoring the two that remain full. There's a sense of sadness here, as if you're mourning what you've lost. This card acknowledges your pain but also reminds you that not everything is lost - there are still blessings in your life if you're willing to see them.
