This card can carry a meaning of dejection, disappointment and "sorrow over past events." It can also represent a blindness to good in a given situation. Although the person pictured on the card has lost three cups, "two still stand." And he. Or she fails to appreciate what is left. A river flows under a bridge leading to a safe destination, "and yet they focus on their three lost cups."
