The image on the tarot card for the 5 of Cups in the Truthseekers tarot deck shows a circular table set in a hall next to a harbour.
Several windows open out onto the harbour and on the sea two galleons sail towards each other in the distance.
On the table stand 5 golden goblets full of water, balanced precariously upon each other.
The very act of balancing goblets indicates some sort of risk taking behaviour. And as the suit of Cups is inextricably linked with love and the emotions and feelings of love, which are so strong, then could it be that the risk is linked with love?
It can be a very risky business falling in love with someone.
Do they love us back? Are we going too fast?
Are we wearing our heart on our sleeves?
It can be risky to declare our love for someone and having to wait to see if that love is reciprocated.
It can also be painful to be in love with someone for we feel their disappointments in life experiences almost more keenly than they do!
Yes, love is risky.
It is a risk to ones pride and to our feelings to declare our love for someone, but a fulfilled life has to have some element of risk and courage in it.
But when love is reciprocated, and when things are good then the advantages of love are massive.
