The Two remaining Cups will stay and stand by him regardless of whether he wants them or not and be ready to catch him should he stumble or fall. He just wants to be left alone to focus on his loss. How could they understand pain like his as he closes his world in around him, aware of precious little else as his grief grows enormously around him. He is not interested in being drawn out or coaxed away from his sorrow and indeed may get angry with those who try to, even if their heart is in the right place. At this moment in time, the Figure, is clothed in the black darkness of his situation, his depression and negativity. These Cups may also offer a chance to heal but they are cold comfort to him right now and of no consolation. These Two Standing Cups may be opportunities or friends and family offering support and help. He is bereft and just wants his Three Cups back. These Cups bridge the gap between the past and the future but he is either unaware of their presence or is not interested in what they have to offer. Although he has experienced loss and terrible change in his life, something of value still remains. Behind him and facing East stand Two Cups suggesting that all is not lost. As he pulls his black cloak tightly around him he becomes one with his sadness, grief and suffering. One thing is for sure and that is the Figure in this Five has certainly lost his emotional stability. In the Ace of Cups we first got a glimpse of the potential of the Cup with its overflowing contents of love, peace, joy and happiness but now, the Cup (Chakra) has been broken or damaged (the overturned Cup) its contents left to seep away into the ground. Green is also is the primary colour of the Heart Chakra which keeps us balanced and at one with the world. The third pool of green, representing Earth, symbolises the loss of stability or possibly something of a tangible or physical nature. The red pools beneath two of the Cups may simply be wine or symbolically represent blood. On the ground in front of him and also facing West are three overturned Cups with their contents spilled. Note the westerly direction the Figure is facing for this symbolises that he is focussed on the past. His heavy black cloak immerses him in grief, sadness and despair. He stands with his back to us, his body totally collapsed in on him. In The Five of Cups we see a dark cloaked Figure with bowed head and shoulders hunched. The question is, did he get up himself and take action or was he forced up by the actions of others? If we were wondering whether he would ever get up from under the tree or not, we now know that he did because certain changes have come to pass. However, in The Four all that seemed to change for he appeared to be very disillusioned or disappointed with his lot. Back then he had appeared to have found what he was looking for and everyone seemed so happy for him. What was going through his mind at the time? What had he heard? What had he discovered? What had he done? What was so special or so annoying about those Three Cups? Why was the Fourth Cup ignored? Something had changed the jolly and happy atmosphere of the Two and Three of Cups. He had either no interest or was unaware of the Fourth Cup that was offered to him. In Card Four he seemed obsessed with Three Cups that stood in front of him. Something was wrong then but at that stage it was only brewing. Something has happened, something has changed but who is responsible for all this? In Card Four we left the Figure disgruntled, disgusted and fed up under a tree. The passive and inactive energy of the Four has passed and with it any stability the man may have found sitting under the tree.
