Okay, so, yesterday I was feeling a bit down, and I decided to pull out my tarot deck. I’ve been going through this thing, you know, just not feeling great about how things are going with this person I’ve been seeing. It’s like, everything was cool, and then bam, we just stopped talking as much. So, I’m shuffling the cards, focusing on my feelings for them, and I pull out the Five of Cups, but it’s reversed.
Now, this card, even upright, it’s all about sadness and disappointment, right? It’s got this picture of a person all hunched over, looking at these spilled cups, but there are still two cups standing behind them. When I saw it reversed, my gut was like, “Whoa, maybe this is a good sign?” So I grabbed my notebook where I jot down all my readings.
I started writing down everything that came to mind. First, I wrote about how I was feeling: pretty bummed out, a bit lost, and just really missing the connection we had. Then I started thinking about what the reversed Five of Cups could mean. I remembered from my tarot book that it often talks about moving on, finding hope after a tough time, and maybe even forgiving someone or accepting an apology.

I spent a good hour just sitting there, flipping the card around in my hands, staring at it, and jotting down notes. I started to feel a bit better, like maybe things weren’t as doomed as I thought. Here’s what I figured out:
- It’s time to let go of the past: I realized I was holding onto how things used to be, and it was just making me feel worse. The reversed card was telling me to stop looking back at those “spilled cups” and focus on what I have now.
- There’s hope for the future: Even though things have been rough, this card made me think that maybe there’s still a chance for things to get better. I just need to open myself up to the possibility.
- Forgiveness might be key: This one was tough, but I started to think about whether I needed to forgive this person, or maybe even myself, for whatever happened. Holding onto anger wasn’t going to help anything.
So, yeah, that was my experience with the Five of Cups reversed. It was kind of a wake-up call for me, I mean I even cried a little when I realized how much I had been struggling on my own. It helped me see that I need to focus on moving forward and taking care of myself. I’m still not sure what’s going to happen with this person, but I feel a little more at peace with it all now. Maybe I will give him a call, maybe not, who knows? Tarot is weird, but it’s definitely helped me sort through my feelings this time.
