Keywords
Playful Competition
I always think of this card as one of playful competition. Of course, the tonal interpretations of it can vary, but the struggle depicted between the five people never struck me as harmfully aggressive. A little competition is healthy. It's good to fight for what we want.
Wild and Joyous
There is something of the Rite of Spring in how I see these characters—bare, free and excited in their play fighting. Wild, unfettered and joyous.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the card can show us this hunger for action and physical play turn nasty and violent. The combatants turn on each other in earnest, abusing the potent fire energy of the Wands. We must take care not to lose sight of consideration for our opponents when they are deserving of it, and not to let the excitement and thrill of the fight turn to bitterness and hostility.
