Okay, here’s my story about figuring out what the 5 of Cups means in a Tarot reading, specifically when you’re asking what someone thinks about you.
So, I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards for a while now, mostly just for fun and to see what they tell me about my day or whatever. But recently, I got curious about using them to understand how people feel about me. I know, I know, it sounds a bit out there, but I thought, why not give it a shot?
The other day, I was thinking about this one person, and I was like, “I wonder what they really think of me?” So I grabbed my deck, shuffled the cards, and focused on that question. I pulled out the 5 of Cups. Now, I’m no Tarot expert, but even I knew this card wasn’t exactly a party. It’s got this vibe of sadness and loss, you know? Like someone’s spilled their wine and is just staring at the mess.

I started digging around to see what this card usually means in relationships. Turns out, it often points to a breakup or some kind of disappointment. Not exactly what I wanted to hear. But then I saw someone online mention that in the context of feelings, the 5 of Cups could mean that the person misses you. That got me thinking.
- First off, I realized that Tarot is more about the present. It’s not really for predicting the future, but more like a snapshot of what’s going on right now.
- Then, I thought about my history with this person. We had some good times, but there were also some rough patches, for sure. Maybe they were feeling down about how things ended or something we went through.
- I also considered that maybe this card was more about me. Like, was I still holding onto some baggage from the past? Was I the one stuck in a negative headspace?
It was a bit of a head-scratcher, honestly. But I decided to take it as a sign to do some reflecting. I spent some time thinking about our interactions, the good and the bad. I tried to let go of any negative feelings I was still carrying. It’s tough, you know? Sometimes, you don’t even realize you’re holding onto stuff until you really stop and think about it.
In the end, I didn’t get a clear-cut answer about what this person thinks of me. Maybe they do miss me, maybe they don’t. But what I did get was a push to work on myself. I guess the 5 of Cups, in a weird way, helped me to see that I needed to move on from the past, whether it’s about this person or just life in general.
Moving Forward
It’s a work in progress, for sure. But I feel like I’m in a better place now. I’m not so hung up on what other people might be thinking. I’m focusing more on my own feelings and trying to create a more positive future for myself. And hey, if this person is missing me, maybe they’ll reach out. Or maybe not. Either way, I think I’ll be okay. It is just a card after all.
