The Five of Cups Reversed
You are refusing to come to terms with the fact that what once was will no longer be. You are living for this one moment that happened so long ago, where you felt the world touch your soul. This moment will never be replicated, as it is impossible to experience something so unexpectedly wonderful without the surprise. Look for meaning of this moment, and allow it to drive you. Your existence is more than that moment, and though those were the best years of your life, there is a need to grow up and mature over time. Take the good with the bad, and create new and better experiences. The spotlight you put on your memories shadow everything in your life. This can also symbolize that you are too jaded. You are making life miserable for yourself. Perhaps you are being too naive in this situation. Based on your past you know the outcome of this moment. There is a trend with the current events that you are not looking at. Throw away the wine colored goggles, they aren’t serving you anymore.
