Five of Wands

Fire · drive, work and ambition

  • Competition
  • Friction

As a yes or no answer:No

Upright

Clashing views and competition. Keep it constructive and you will grow.

Five young men swing their wands at each other, more in contest than in war. You are surrounded by competing opinions, rivalry or plain disorder. It is noisy, but it is not dangerous. Handled well, this friction sharpens your ideas and shows you where you stand. Speak up, hold your ground and keep the contest fair.

Reversed

Avoiding conflict that needs airing, or tension finally easing.

Reversed, the Five of Wands shows conflict winding down, or conflict being avoided when it should be faced. You may be keeping the peace at your own expense. Find agreement where you can, but do not stay silent on what truly matters to you. Clearing the air now prevents a bigger clash later.
