Keywords: loss, sadness, disappointment, regret, grief

Upright
The Five of Cups speaks of sadness over something you've lost or that didn't turn out the way you hoped. It's natural to grieve, but not everything is lost. Behind you, some cups are still standing: there are still valuable things waiting for you.
Reversed
Reversed, it shows you beginning to accept the loss and look ahead. Little by little, hope is coming back. It's time to forgive others, and yourself.
In love
Heartache or disappointment in love; don't forget what still matters.
Work and money
A setback or financial loss; learn from it and focus on what remains.
Advice
Mourn what you've lost, then turn toward what's still here.
Symbolism
A figure wrapped in a black cloak looks sorrowfully at three spilled cups on the ground, not seeing the two still standing behind them. In the distance, a bridge leads to a house: the path back to hope. The card reminds you that even in loss, something precious remains.
Yes or no?
No. In a yes or no reading, Five of Cups leans towards no. Reversed it can soften: less a flat no than a “not yet” or “not like this”. Yes or no tarot
