Inside the system, its significance is subject to the influence of surrounding cards, and the 5 of Cups itself affects the meaning of the tarot card that preceded it.
Meaning for Love
5 of Cups is one of the most rugged cards within the small Arcana that belong to the element of water. In the Light of the Soul is depicted in a dark scene in which only one cup stand upright holding fluid while the other four are scattered; two horizontally, two vertically. The key word is disappointment. Elsewhere, the scene is even worse. For example, in a tarot pile here it is a man who wants to get a cup but he has to change over at the last moment. She turns her back to the cups and goes squeaky and endlessly sad.
Obviously, the five of the cups is not a big positive one. Here the solitude is very pronounced. A man seeks strong emotions like disappointment. Here a person easily gets disappointed with a spouse, expectation from friends is not fulfilled, and perhaps the worst feeling is disappointment in oneself. Life is not what man was hoping for. The only thing we can do here is to accept the cruel reality of being born alone and dying ourselves. Nobody here supports us or we have the strength to support the environment. The question is whether we deserve to be emotionally supported and whether the environment deserves our support.
There is no lying or manipulation of emotions with this card. Things are the kind they are. Relationships are such that they can not be changed as much as they want to improve. Still, this card has a good side. Here the person is fair to himself. As I have already written, there is no lying, pretending that everything will be all right, that we are loved and that we love and love others. The five of the cups in itself carries cruelty. Deep-hearted disillusionment serves to make the truth not only perceived but already accepted.
No wonder that this card in the tarot of the Light of the Soul is identified with the astrological Mars in Scorpio. Otherwise, this planet in Scorpio feels great, but still carries a dose of darkness in it. People who are born with this position of Mars learn best through horrible emotional injuries. Just when they think they’re done, they can not stand it anymore, they are getting stronger than they were before. The five of cups is just this kind of energy. Not all is lost, the defeat has not yet come. Just take a different position, start a new way. A person is injured, suffers, is weak, but once he recovers, when he comes back to his feet he realizes that he is much stronger than he thought. This is a five of cups instruction; through pain to victory.
When this card appears in the opening it means that the person will be lonely, sad and weak. Painfully said, he will lick his wounds. They will be looking for ways to recover from emotional strokes. He will give his own spirit little by little. Success or emotional pleasure comes exclusively through the fight.
