Five of Cups
Let down by your own expectations
The Five Of Cups
Stuck in a whirlpool of pessimistic thoughts, you are not sure where things went wrong to begin with. Re-watching the situation over and over, looking for hidden meanings, foot notes that you failed to read coded in things they said that at one point made you smile. You are stuck on rinse cycle, lost at how things can be so good, end so horribly, and you never even saw it coming. The feelings you are holding about this situation are filling your light with shadow. There is a dark cloud of anxiety, anger or chaotic energy whirling inside.
Things did not go as planned, but how often do they actually go the way they expect? Things don’t always roll out flawlessly. Maybe you were betrayed, or disappointed in the person behind the mask. While you should be taking steps to move on, you are sitting under your dark cloud feeling sorry for yourself. It’s not doing you any favors, and misery loves company. Stop giving your energy to this thing and start moving forward, this corpse is not honorable enough to drag.
This card can be seen in brooding. It’s negative feelings about a situation, or someone which is soaked in disappointment. It’s creating animosity, and negative feelings that are stirring inside of you and creating pressure. Let it go, it’s not worth it.
