August 28th, 2025: 5 of Cups

Grief and Sorrow

5 of Cups - Focusing on What Remains

For August 28th, the card is the 5 of Cups. This card shows us what happens when we get stuck looking at what has been lost instead of noticing what’s still standing. It’s easy to dwell on disappointment, regret, or sorrow, but the 5 of Cups reminds you that not everything is gone. There are still cups left upright, waiting for you to turn toward them.

The energy of this card is about perspective. You can acknowledge your feelings without letting them keep you trapped in the past. Grief and sadness are real, but they don’t have to stop you from moving forward. When you shift your focus, you start to see new paths, new opportunities, and even hidden blessings that were there all along.

If you’re wanting to work with crystals on this day, black obsidian can help release heavy emotions, and rose quartz can bring compassion and healing to the heart.

This message won’t connect with everyone, but if it resonates with you, take it as a sign to release what’s weighing you down and start focusing on what’s still possible.

Blessings, love, and light. Always.
