Yes, No, Maybe So

Hi G***.
You may be dealing with feelings of loneliness and isolation this week. You may have a hard time seeing what's right in the world around you as you find yourself focusing on what's wrong.
The Five of Cups is a difficult card. It can indicate a sense of feeling left out or left behind.
You may feel like you're all alone in the world, like you haven't got a friend, or like you've been shut out by those you love.
The Five of Cups can indicate a sense of loss or disillusionment. A betrayal. Feeling rejected or dismissed. This can be especially painful when it involves a relationship, and may even elicit feelings of anger or rage.
So often we hold onto something that didn't make us happy in the first place. Perhaps it's because we're afraid to be alone. Or it may be because we've learned to associate love with pain, or because we've gotten used to being unhappy.
The Five of Cups serves as a reminder of how much our attitudes can shape our experiences. Where there should be joy there's sorrow, where there should be promise there's despair, and where there should be contentment there's regret.
Remember though that you do participate in your destiny. While you may not have any control over what goes down, you do have some say in how it all plays out.
If you're in a relationship now, ask yourself whether you're happy with where things are headed? Are you seeing things clearly or are you too focused on what's wrong to consider what just might be right? You may have to face some very painful realities and make some very difficult decisions.
Your heartache can become a powerful conduit for healing. It can also become a gift that you pass onto others: the gift of empathy. Your own experiences lead to a deeper understanding of what others may be dealing with, and can translate into compassion, understanding, forgiveness and unconditional love.
In the end this card is about finding your happiness within. It's a call to learn to love yourself so that when all else falls away you're never left alone.
