Five of Wands
The Five of Wands represents conflict, competition, and struggle among opposing forces or ideas. Five people engage in a chaotic fight by a river, their wands crossed at odd angles, each stubbornly defending their own position without compromise. This card teaches that when facing conflicting energies and personalities, flexibility and openness to others' visions are essential. Rather than clinging rigidly to your own perspective, incorporate multiple viewpoints to move forward constructively.
Keywords
The Scene of Conflict
Five people have started a fight on the riverbank. The wands in their hands are bizarrely crossed at different angles. They are opposing an energy that tries to confuse and limit them. Each person, unwilling to compromise, stubbornly pushes forward what is currently important only to them.
The Stalemate
The situation is not moving forward. The idea is crystal clear: either yield and work together, or resist and find yourself in a dead end where nothing is achieved and nothing is accomplished.
Encountering Opposition
When your idea develops and grows, you begin to encounter other conflicting ideas and personalities. Instead of clinging to your vision of the future, the final outcome, it's better to humbly take into account the numerous possibilities.
The Path Forward
Don't lose complete control over the situation, but find a way to incorporate other people's vision into your own. Be flexible. Learn to adapt to changing conditions. Be open.
Visual Description
A night scene shows five figures in dark blue garments confronting one another, each holding a long, brightly patterned wand that loops and coils with colorful rings. The wands intersect and form a pentagonal web above the figures, whose faces and hands are pale against the deep tones of the scene. The ground beneath them is speckled with warm, confetti-like dots, and a band of water and reeds runs along the foreground. Stars sprinkle the black sky and the title "FIVE OF WANDS" is printed at the bottom.
