In a murky state, The Five of Cups represents a time where one is gloomy, pessimistic or going through a period of mourning. At times, life gets gloomy, especially when we are feeling disappointed over something or someone. These are the times where we cannot let these feelings consume our day, and try our best to view the cup half full instead of half empty. There’s always a bright side of things, we just need to pick up our heads and look for it, even though that can be difficult.
