The Five of Cups depicts a cloaked figure standing beside a riverbank, gazing sorrowfully at three spilled cups while two remain upright behind them. The bridge in the background suggests the possibility of crossing to a new path, but the figure is consumed by their focus on the loss. This image speaks to the human tendency to dwell on what is gone, even when opportunity remains right behind us. It is a card of grief but also of choice—whether to stay in regret or turn toward what can still be salvaged.
