40-Five of Primordialism – Reversed Mage Deck

Your Chosen Card – Five of Chalices Reversed Mage 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 someone’s return may reach you. Remember the words of Alexander Pope: ‘Hope springs eternal in the human breast.’

Reversed Cards: In numerology, nine is the last number, the end of a cycle and a sign of completion, which seems a little out of whack in the minor arcana, considering we technically have one more card to move through. But when we start looking at the cards, it is easy to see that the nines do represent the completion of or the need to let go of cycles, experiences, people, places, and things. You will also see that the lessons of the nine don’t come easily, and just for an extra dose of fun we are going to flip those lessons and throw them in reverse.

Reversed Cards: Like it or not, there is a bit of drama-queen energy around this card, the whole ‘I’m going to be as emotionally difficult as possible and you’re all just going to have to deal with it’ vibe. It is one thing to need some time to process your current emotional state. It is quite another to use it to be a prima donna and be deliberately difficult. If you have gotten this card in the shadow aspect, there is a good chance you are just going out of your way to piss people off. A word of warning: it will come back and bite you in the butt. Diva it up while you can because no one will want to be around you too long while you’re being this emotionally indulgent.
