sakki sakki 5 of cups

This is one of my favorite cards and it is definitely my favorite 5 of cups out of all of the decks I have seen so far. I love the character in this image, she is so cool and i love that gesture she is making. Enigmatic. Usually, the 5 of cups coming up in a reading bothers me on some level, but not so with this one.
What are your experiences with this card?

Hi!
It took me so long to reply to this card, becasue it's one that never lies to me, and so when i get it, i'm indeed dissapointed...

The dress reminded me of some Greek tragedy, so I thought it was very suitable for this card...
my favorite part though is the hairdo, which tells me, that one pleasant detail in a sad card (besides the two full cups), reminds us how not all is that bad after all..;)

hi,
That is exactly how I see the 8 of swords, maybe this needs to be an ew thread, but it does pertain to your feelings about the 5 of cups. How, at least there is one cool aspect present in a rather sad card. I pulled the 8 of swords and decided that although she is trapped by whatever mental trap she may have created, behind all that, she is a really cool, hip lady. Just look at her!

I thought this same exact thing when I recenttly got the 5 cups, it was her hairdo that really pleased me, in spite of the sad situation with those spilled cups. It also really intrigued me, as it reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on.

I also noticed how close to her physically those 2 (still standing) cups are, they are practically touching her shoulder. That feels positive to me. Like a suggestion to look away from what spilled.
