Card Title

Five Of Cups

Visual description

Visual description: A small white kittycorn wearing a blue cloak stands with its back turned, head slightly bowed, gazing toward a pale moon in a soft twilight sky. Three golden cups lie tipped and spilled on the sandy ground before it while two cups remain upright nearby. The kittycorn has a rainbow horn and tail that contrast with the pastel dunes and a calm river in the midground, with a tiny cluster of buildings on the far shore. A delicate white decorative border frames the image and the title 'Five of Cups' appears at the bottom.

Meaning

Meaning: The Five of Cups in this cute KittyCorn deck shows a sorrowful little figure focused on three overturned cups, and that focus sings of loss, regret, and the sting of what has gone wrong. Upright, the image invites you to sit with your sadness so it can be acknowledged, yet it also gently points out the two upright cups behind the kittycorn — gifts or resources still available if you can remember to look up. The cloaked posture and the quiet river in the background echo classic Rider–Waite themes of mourning and emotional flow, reminding you that feelings move and change. In a playful twist, the rainbow tail promises that color and joy remain even in small measures, nudging toward repair and consolation. Reversed, this card becomes the sweet nudge to unclench: you begin to notice the two cups, accept what cannot be undone, and turn your face toward new possibilities. Whether you need a compassionate cry or a brave little step forward, the kittycorn urges balance between honoring loss and collecting what’s left with gentle curiosity. Ultimately this card is about grieving with heart while keeping an eye open for the tender chances to heal and rebuild.
