a calm onlooker

  

three of wands + five of cups  

Today's querent is a calm onlooker traveling and observing a new place.  This person has been accruing achievements in a foreign land, but today they can't appreciate any of those successes.  Because on the inside, our querent aches with sadness and grief.  In the Five of Cups card, three fallen cups symbolise losses that today's querent is preoccupied with, but these are legitimate disappointments.  Our querent has a right to process any recent emotional setbacks.  Also in the Five of Cups card, which is always a mixed bag of bad and good / sad and less sad, the two cups which still stand upright indicate that in due time today's querent will buck up and continue with their progress in the new place where they've been traveling.

Today's cards are from Mythic Tarot.
