Your Chosen Card – Five of Chalices Reversed Salem Deck
When reversed, the Five of Cups suggests that you need to adopt a different perspective in order to find the good in the situation. Even though you have suffered a loss, hope remains if you will only look for it. Two of the cups remain standing, having not spilled their contents. You may be able to salvage a relationship you thought was irretrievably lost, or perhaps a new relationship will enter your life to dispel these feelings of emptiness. A gift or inheritance may be better than anticipated. News of someones return may reach you. Remember the words of Alexander Pope: ‘Hope springs eternal in the human breast.’

Reversed Cards: It may not seem like a positive thing to have the card of victory show up in the protection aspect, but it really is. When we are beginning a new cycle or project, sometimes it is best to keep things to ourselves. Even the good bits. Oftentimes it is to keep others from contaminating the energetic vortex we are creating, and other times it is because we are in the process of rebuilding our own reserves of self-esteem. If this card has shown up in the protection aspect, it is reminding you to not stop, not give up, and keep building on all the breakthroughs. Each step brings you closer to your dreams or goals.
