Five of Wands Tarot Card Meaning
Minor Arcana, suit of Wands
competition, friction, challenge
The card
Five young men swing their wands at one another in a crowded scuffle that looks half like a fight and half like a game. No one seems to be winning and no one is badly hurt. The card points to clashing wills and noisy rivalry, and asks whether the struggle is sharpening you or just wearing you out.
Upright meaning
Clashing wills and lively competition; the friction can sharpen you if it stays a game.
Reversed meaning
Conflict turns petty or is avoided altogether, and tension simmers without being resolved.
