Five of Cups

Minor Arcana · Kupa Beş

Challenge and change in emotion, relationship and intuition.

Upright: water, emotion, relationship and intuition

Reversed: blocked, excess

Waite's description

A dark, cloaked figure, looking sideways at three prone cups; two others stand upright behind him; a bridge is in the background, leading to a small keep or holding.

Divinatory Meanings

It is a card of loss, but something remains over; three have been taken, but two are left; it is a card of inheritance, patrimony, transmission, but not corresponding to expectations; with some interpreters it is a card of marriage, but not without bitterness or frustration.

Reversed

News, alliances, affinity, consanguinity, ancestry, return, false projects.
