As a yes or no answer:No
Upright
Grieving what was lost. Two cups still stand behind you.
A cloaked figure mourns over three spilled cups, not yet seeing the two that still stand behind. Grief, regret or disappointment is real and deserves to be felt. Something has been lost. But not everything is gone. When you are ready, turn around: what remains can still be built upon.
Reversed
Moving on from a loss. Acceptance is coming.
Reversed, the Five of Cups shows acceptance after loss. You are beginning to move on, forgive and find what remains. The worst of the sorrow is passing. Let yourself heal at your own pace, and reach out to the people who are still standing beside you.
