Five of Wands


~ Overview 

Inner conflict, Tension, Challenges, Lack of focus, Stress, Ease the conflicts, Breathe

~ Essence 

Take a pause, reflect upon one’s challenges, what is needed and a wise approach 

~ Insight 

The Five of Wands resembles inner conflict ~ this may be felt due to frustrations within self, external challenges, competition with those around us or misunderstandings with others. 

We are called to pause, settle, retreat and find a space of calm within ourselves before we proceed to take action, make any decisions or move forward. 

The first calling of this card is to devoutly focus upon your own path, no comparison with others, instead choose to focus on how we can collaborate with, support and inspire one another. 

There is enough room for our own journey and for everyone else’s too. 

Rise above ego, choose to learn from, share, celebrate and work together with others. 

Jealousy can be a sign of what we long for within our own life, use it as a tool for self-understanding, an opportunity to gain insight into what one values.

The second guidance is to be open minded in conflicts with others, to see the situation from all points of view and to find a place of understanding. 

Assumptions, frustrations and resentments can harbour painful and unhealthy feelings within. 

Consider the most mature, wise and respectful way to handle interactions with others.

Lastly, inner conflicts, this card asks us to consider what is causing us stress, challenges around us, what we are doing that may not be integral to self and what is going on within. 

When we feel conflicted within it can begin to project outwardly onto all around us.

This is an opportunity to reflect and cultivate a different, inwardly supportive approach. 

Tune in with oneself, focus on what is needed to bring calm focus to mind, body and spirit.
