The Hello and welcome to Tarot Bites. I'm Theresa Reed the Tarot Lady. I am the

author of the Tarot Coloring Book and your host for this little podcast series. This is episode 38 of

Tarot Bites, the podcast where I just showed, short entertaining bite-sized lessons on how to retero.

For today's episode, our topic is the five of cups.

Let's begin.

So in a previous lesson, we talked about the numbers and how important they are to the minor

Arcana. Number five is what I call the bummer number in the Terrell because you know if you look at all of the cards marked five

each one is a difficult situation depicted you know five is the number of change so perhaps it might be that change is difficult for some people

Not just accepting it but sometimes making it to you

You don't think about those times where you had to make a choice and you knew that it was going to lead to some drama. You know, that's five energy. Or think of a situation where a change happened. One that was hard for you to work through.

That's Five Energy too.

Five energy, though, can also be a little bit exciting.

You know, sometimes it's like the introduction of an element. Five energy though can also be a little bit exciting.

You know, sometimes it's like the introduction of an element that shakes things up.

So just know that Five is certainly, it's showing that things are going to be different and challenging and nowhere does this energy show up more clearly than in the five of cups.

You know, if you take one look at this card and you see that figure mourning over three spilled cups

Even though there are two left standing you know that something's happened and it's not been easy

The figure is bummed out maybe because

something didn't work out. And there may be options to go in a new direction, but all this figure can do is focus on what didn't work.

Again, that's total five there.

It's like the five that's not accepting the changes.

Anyhow, let's look at some of those symbols in this card.
