Card Imagery and Symbolism
In the Five of Cups, a sulking figure is cast to an isolated environment as he endures torrential rainfall. The pond's surface is fractured by the storm, which mirrors a deep disturbance in the character's heart. A black umbrella is tethered to the figure to shield him from his discomfort.
Metaphor of Loss
Five vessels are displayed, and two have spilled over, suggesting a metaphor of loss. There is a possibility to depart from the rain to seek shelter, but at the request of the man, this moment of grief frogs without interruption.
Emotional Isolation
The sorrows that plague the man are unknown, but they are felt by all who stand in his presence. We cannot help the man through hardship until he chooses to rejoin us from his solitude.
