Five of Wands Upright Draw Meaning

There may come those moments in life when you look back at the frivolity and smile. Then, as time moves on, you might begin to see those moments as something other than wasted time. The Five of Wands is a card that presents itself whenever you begin to feel slightly dissatisfied with life. You have experienced both exciting events and hair-raising drama. But in the long run, these haven’t done anything to mar the foundation of success you now stand upon. In fact, the Five of Wands validates your efforts.

Also, you’re encouraged to explore diversity and differences in opinion. Seek out occasions where you can be amongst people who differ in both culture and opinion. Everyone brings their own lives and stories with them to the table, so stay open-minded. You never know where inspiration will come from.

Get into the fray, mix things up a little and take on the challenge you have been presented with.

Five of Wands In Love and Relationships

Both upright and reversed, the Five of Wands can mean that personal struggle and conflict is tearing you away from others. Just as you feel a lot of tension inside, others are also getting influenced by that confusion. Another potential cause of your internal faltering would be the people you are with. Perhaps, the relationships you are pursuing right now are not in your best interest. Because of this, you need to take a step back. Separate yourself from disagreements.

Five of Wands In Career And Finances

The Five of Wands appears when a group of people is trying to implement a goal, but they are having a hard time removing their personal needs and wants from the planning. This may, in turn, become a highly constructive conflict where each person can openly share their thoughts and feelings. For work, this is a card that denotes a need for team-building. However, you need to provide that non-judgemental environment where everyone can feel as if their opinion has weight. This is also a card that asks you to become a leader of the group.

Another meaning in business would be facing competition where everyone has the same level of expertise and knowledge as you do. Respect your opponent but do not stand down. Rather than viewing the fight ahead with frustration and anger, look for the opportunity to expand your horizons and learn about your weaknesses.

Five of Wands Reverse Draw Meaning

Drawing a reversed Five of Wands means that you have been avoiding conflict for too long. The trouble is that, whenever you do this, someone else is brought down with you. Do not always balk at the first sign of controversy because it can be healthy in small doses. Plus, looking at these conflicts can help you understand any underlying issues that may be developing in elements of your life.

The reversed Five of Wands also has a good meaning: that you have worked through conflicts and can now adequately deal with anger and hostility. You no longer feel that you’re incapable. In fact, you know now that you don’t always have to prove yourself. The important point to take away from the reversed Five of Wands is that you cannot let your goals scatter into the wind. Focus on those goals, and do not let anyone else sway you from them.
