Five of Cups Tarot Card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism

• Five of Cups Tarot Card shows a man clothed in a black cloak facing away. His head hangs in despair as he looks down on three cups that have been knocked over – symbolic of his disappointments and failures and regrets. Because this man is so focused on the fallen cups, he fails to see the upright cups behind him, representing new opportunities and potential. All he needs to do is turn around to see them. In the background, we see a bridge crossing a large flowing river to the security of the castle or home. The river denotes that the sadness or despair that he feels is keeping him from his home, where he will feel safe and at rest, while the bridge is a message to ‘build a bridge and get over it. So,  leave the past behind and make the best of what remains.
