5 of Cups Tarot Card: What to do when we don’t get our way
If you didn’t care, nothing would bother you. Think of it like that. So when you feel disappointment, like this sad figure in the 5 of cups tarot card, remember you feel that way because you care at all. Things don’t go our way each and every single time. That’s life. We hope for things, but we don’t always get them.
We hope things will turn out a certain way, but sometimes they don’t. This doesn’t mean the world is against us, it just means sometimes we don’t get our own way. Simple as that. There will be those times when we have to accept the 5 of cups piece of ourselves and recognize that we feel disappointed because something we cared about didn’t come to fruition. As this depiction of the 5 of cups shows, the cups are not broken. They are not over turned. The 5 of cups still standing are functional. They are just empty for the moment. They are not empty forever- just for the moment. The disappointment will pass and the cups will be full again. –Jim Larsen
