sure.
i would think of different ways of understanding why these cards came out not having more context:
also i always do take into consideration if the cards are vertical on in reverse. how did they come out?
5 of cups if vertical:
context (a new relationship that felt/feels like might be the one)
this card general meaning is sorrow, disappointment, regret, focusing on what was lost instead of what is left: the card shows 3 cups down and 2 still up, so its like representing when the person (usually only one of the 2 involved) is just focused on the 3 cups down = the negative and painful aspects of a separation, break up, disappointment. instead of the 2 still standing which represent the positive lessons you could take from that experience, also those 2 may represent the love that still exists despite the situation however not acknowledging it in a hopeful way but more like the sting that is still very present because of it.
if it comes out reversed, it simply means that the person is moving on from those feelings, like is healing but still has some time to go before they feels whole again.
based on the context you gave, if things were “good/ok” between you two since its something new and feels like the one, it clearly means that one of the 2 is still very much grieving a past relationship (red flag) if vertical; if reversed, still healing but the pain and regret still present.
it also depends what you asked.
if asked for the future evolution or outcome of the relationship that is starting…uhm im sorry to be blunt but it means it will lead to that… sadness, regret, frustration, disappointment.
8 of cups:
general meaning when vertical card that shows when someone leaves a relationship still feeling love, but has decided the best is to break up or leave even when feelings are present because staying would hurt more and there are not possible solutions to work on so its like a “giving up even if i feel a lot” it could be temporarily but its a sure break up.
if its reverse only depending on the context, question and other cards that come with it could mean return from a break up, like an attempt at reconnecting, or that the person that left is finding hard to really move on.
in this scenario coming out with the 5 of cups, if both vertical it could mean that one of the 2 leaves/ghosts etc and the other remains hurt and disappointed… further in, i could say that the person that left got fed up about something the other one didnt do or something hurtful they repeatedly did that broke the camels back and thats why they left, while the other person then stays regretting what they did or didnt do and is focusing revisiting going over ehat happened again and again.
or that both cards can represent one person, which feels regretful, sad, hurt disappointed then decides to leave the relationship.
if both or one is reversed since it still shows current hurt then it means acceptance to what it is even if its painful.
again since this relationship is new and if you are asking about current state of it, it means one of the 2 or both is still grieving a loss from the past, still carrying feelings, still thinking about it etc
and if its for a future outcome then again it means that itll bring sorrow and disappointment and the relationship wont last, or a break up is near etc
but still i would need to know what the question was (you can PM if you dont want to say it here)
the only last thing considering what or how you felt in re of the relationship after pulling the cards, it can be a warning of how you would feel, it could be a reminder that you are still not healed from a previous relationship or it could be projecting the real current status of the other person.
hope that helps
