Five of Cups

Brief Description

The Five of Water represents intense emotional struggle and self-deception driven by fear. It signifies dangerous passion and love that can become destructive. When partners are bound by very strong feelings, their conflicts arise not from indifference but from deep connection. If separation occurs under this card's influence, it leaves behind mortal wounds and lasting resentment.

Visual Description

A framed illustration shows a turbulent water scene: two faces break the surface near the top—one woman lying back with closed eyes and one man looking forward with a raised hand—while a third figure lies submerged in the foreground, draped in a pale, flowing garment. Bubbles and white surf mark the waterline; the submerged limbs and fabric are rendered in cool, shadowed blues and purples. The card border includes a teal triangle with the number 5 in the top left and multilingual labels for water at the top right; the word "ACQUA" appears at the bottom left.
