A figure wearing black looks at three goblets that have been turned over. Two tall cups are standing behind him, but he doesn't notice them. The picture shows a river, a bridge, and a castle in the distance.

The castle: It symbolizes home, hope, sanctuary, and safety.

River: Represents the flow of emotions and the path leading to the distant castle. Yet he is immersed in sorrow, not yet embarking on the journey home.

Three fallen goblets before him: Represent emotions he has lost, shattered hopes, or failed relationships. He is utterly absorbed in these losses, drowning in grief and regret.

A man in black: Clad in a dark cloak, he embodies sorrow and mourning.

Bridge: Spanning the river, it signifies a means to cross emotional obstacles, though he has yet to utilize it.

Two upright cups behind him: This shows that he still has people and things in his life that are important to him. But he doesn't seem to notice these good things.

The V of Cups is all about feeling a bit down and lost. If you've had some tough times and felt really down (like when you've been disappointed, lost something or someone, or heartbroken – those are the three cups turned upside down), it's easy to get so caught up in feeling sad and sorry for yourself that you miss out on the good stuff in life (like the two upright cups). This is the process of mourning, and it's totally natural. But, as the card reminds us, while the pain is real, there's always hope. In the end, you have to turn around, see the beauty that's still there, and cross the bridge of emotions to move forward.

Take as much time as you need to feel the sorrow, because it's all part of the healing process. Try to focus on the good things you still have, like the cup you left behind. At the end of the day, you will get to the other side of the bridge, and that will be so worth it!
