Five of Wands upright
Five young men brandish their wands in what looks like a fight, though no one gets hurt. The Five of Wands reflects friction, competition and clashing ideas. It might be a team where everyone wants to be right, a rivalry, or your own mind torn between several desires. This card isn't negative in itself: conflict can be creative too, if it's channelled well. It invites you to listen to other voices, to stand up for yourself without aggression and to see what might be born from the chaos.
Five of Wands reversed
Reversed, the Five suggests you're avoiding a necessary conversation, or that the tension has stayed bottled up inside you. It can also signal that the conflict is calming down and it's time to come to an agreement. Notice whether you're keeping quiet for the sake of real peace, or out of fear.
The suit of Wands
The suit of fire: the spark that gets you out of bed in the morning. The Wands speak of your drive, your creativity, your projects and the way you take action.
