When the Five of Cups is upright, it suggests we experience grief to make room for new opportunities. Along with the upright Seven of Wands, which symbolizes defending and fighting for your beliefs, this may mean that after experiencing sorrow, you will find the strength to fight for what is important to you. For example, after a breakup, you gathered your courage and started actively pursuing your dream.
