Meaning

The Five of Wands shows a group of five women in a circle, pointing wands toward each other in a show of competition and rivalry. Each of the women has the same desire for success and growth, yet they come from different places and cannot see their common goals. This card connotes conflict with others in a struggle to achieve your goal. However, competition doesn't have to be a threat to you. You can choose to view your competitors as a chance to better yourself. Working together, you can learn from your differences, inspire each other, and share your ideas and resources.

Visual Description

Five women dance and move across a starry dark field, each holding a long wand tipped with a purple crystal. The figures are arranged in dynamic, overlapping poses that suggest motion, conflict, and play; some reach upward while others bend or brace. Above them are five lunar phases stretching across the sky, and small stars dot the background. Floral motifs border the bottom, and a label reading "FIVE OF WANDS" appears beneath the scene.
