I won! I won! I won! Oooh...now the pressure's on. Oh, what's that? There seems to a tarot card here that has something to say: What Card am I? "What have I done?! Ahhh, this is awful! I had everything and now all is lost! How can I get past this? How will I go on? Somehow, I must learn to overcome this tragedy. I must move forward, even through my pain. It will be difficult, but, hey...wait a minute. What's this?" Well. A bit dramatic, I'd say. Anyway, it's up to you guys, now! :D Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

five of cups

And the winner is HOLMES! In my mind, I always picture the figure in the RWS version of this card with his head in his hands, weeping over the spilled Cups. But then I really looked at it and (assisted by Rachel Pollack and a few 'degrees' of her 'wisdom') I realized that the figure just has his (or her) head down, and we can't tell if s/he's weeping. Perhaps s/he's just pondering what has happened. So now I see the card as the turning point going from being upset over something that has occured to picking up the pieces and moving on with life. So that's my story. Your turn, Holmes! :D Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

I agree with Holmes but since that is gone, it could be 5 Swords as well. Moongold
