Disappointment

Magical Image of the 5 of Cups

In the first face of Scorpio ascends a woman of good face and habit, and two men striking her; the operations of these are for comeliness, beauty, and for strifes, treacheries, deceits, detractations, and perditions.

The beautiful surface hides the machinations that go on to cause disappointment.
