Five of Wands

The Five of Wands symbolizes conflict and competition that you're not used to experiencing.

Upright position meaning

When it's pulled upright, the Five of Wands indicates conflict or even competition that you're not accustomed to. There is a feeling of wanting to be heard, but not being able to communicate clearly or well. It seems as if everyone is speaking all at once, and so no one is actually heard at all. As for competition, you may be feeling this at a place you've never experienced it before. Try thinking of it as a medium for personal growth.

Reversed position meaning

If the Five of Wands is pulled reversed, it means one of two things. It means your flight response has kicked in, and you're avoiding confronting the conflict you're experiencing, or it means the conflict you once faced is now resolved. Either you're running from your troubles, or they have been resolved completely. Try evaluating where you are in life in order to figure out which case is true for you.

Advice meaning

The Five of Wands is asking you to see where conflict lies in your life, and how you will go about resolving it.
