The tarot five of cups is warning you of a probable loss in the pipeline and the emotions associated with it, Fear, Sorrow, regret, denial. Although, initially one may feel discouraged in the occurrence of this card in a reading, it is not wholly so. Every pitfall is an opportunity in disguise for growth because every loss is responsible for change. And every change consequently is responsible for growth.

If the change is inevitable we have to accept it, however if the change is not in conjunction with our own feelings, we feel disturbed. Although, this is a normal process, you are advised to remember that the more we try to cling on to what is already gone, the more we have to suffer. Loss hurts because we resist emotionally against the change. Acceptance and forging ahead is the solution.

This is the most effective way of dealing with sorrow at this moment.

When the five of cups is reversed in a reading, the worry and anxiety is supposed to be manifold and you be caught in a major crisis. Make decisions by trusting your intuition.
