Five of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

Five of Wands Upright Meaning

This card is all about our ability to respect one another while still fighting for what we believe in. You might have people in your life at the moment who you disagree with. You should consider whether they are worth the battle. What would the outcome be? Would it benefit either of you, or would it just be conflict for the sake of conflict? A little healthy competition can bring out the best of us. Perhaps you’re going for a promotion at work, or you are entering a literal competition, you should try to truly experience what competition means and how it helps us to grow as people. Allow minor irritations to brush past you and focus on the ones that really matter. Don’t waste your time on the small stuff.

Five of Wands Keywords

Reversed, the Five of Wands suggests that you may be avoiding difficult situations or conflict. Yes, life is easier if we avoid everything that is difficult but in doing so we miss a fundamental part of life and of growth.

Work through ideas, talk to others, garner new points of view, and learn from the experience.
