Five of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

When this card comes up in a reading, you might be feeling disappointed because something didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. Instead of brooding over what went wrong, instead of wallowing in self-pity and regret, you should move on. Crying over spilled milk is the worst thing you can do for yourself right now.

Have you tried forgiveness? Whether you are upset about another person’s actions or you hate yourself for a mistake you made, if you can find it in your heart to forgive, then you will release those toxic emotions. By removing the disappointment, you can reassess what you want out of life and how to get there.

Remember, every mistake can be an important teacher. Don’t get upset when something doesn’t go right the first time or even the twentieth time. You will never advance if you don’t learn how to pick yourself up first.
