Five of Wands Tarot Card Description
In tarot card lore, fives tend to be associated with how we interact with others, this can be a positive or a negative experience; although it tends not to sit too happily with Wands’ fiery energy. When you find a five in your reading, you may start to question other people’s motives. The difficulty is that with Wands involved, a lack of subtlety can cause a few problems.
Upright Meaning
Sorry, it just seems it’s going to be one of those days. You know the kind of thing, you go to your 10 o’clock appointment only to be told you are a day late, you put salt instead of sugar in your tea and so on and on and on and on. Nothing major goes wrong, just lots of little niggles which wear you down and make you frown. The Five of Wands can also suggest arguments of some kind. It could be that you are ‘arguing’ with yourself, trying to force through what you want when fate is handing you what you need. Alternatively, you may be in competition with someone, perhaps for a job or to gain the attention of a sexy person who has caught your eye. On the other hand, you could find yourself drawn into an old fashioned disagreement or row. Don’t feel too bad about this, it is perfectly fine to have a difference of view, it’s how you handle the situation that matters. The Five of Wands doesn’t ask you to capitulate to the opposition but rather, to find a way to co-operate with them. You need to discover something which you can agree on, and then move forward from there until you achieve real harmony. Frustration and anxiety are natural emotions when we feel thwarted, but you can be confident that hard work and perseverance will enable you to overcome any curve balls that the Five of Wands throws your way.
Reversed Meaning
When it comes to dealing with legal issues, follow the spirit as well as the letter of the law, or you could find yourself in trouble. Obviously you’re not planning a bank raid, but parking on a double yellow line (even for a second), is likely to end with a bright yellow ticket on your windscreen when you get back. Rows and disagreements are also likely to become messy, as your adversary could decide that they want to win at any cost. Make sure it’s not you who is tempted to use underhand tactics to get your way, as they are almost certain to backfire. Romantic relationships can be more cold than cuddly, when one of you decides that they feel persecuted.
Past
You have been trying to scramble up the ladder of success before the opposition, but in your haste you lost your footing and have you ended up at the bottom? Or was it your competitiveness that alienated people? Time for a rethink.
Present
Right now you feel that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. But think about it, all those annoyances in your life are actually fairly trivial. You also feel a little at odds with yourself. Decide on your true priorities.
Future
Conflict, or at least competition, is on the horizon. This could mean competing for a job or a lover. You may even feel you will have to be in conflict with another person. Wait, you may find co-operation is more rewarding.

Five of Wands Love Tarot Card Description
Upright Meaning
This is the time for action not sitting around. Singletons need to get out and about, the more you mix the more likely you are to meet Ms or Mr Marvellous. It is possible that you may have a rival for your amour, if so, don’t be discouraged. If you assert yourself you should win your heart’s desire. However, make sure you are not too forthright or forceful or you could set your nascent squeeze squirming (and not in a good way).
If you have a partner make sure they are not put off by your ardour. Too much boisterous energy could leave your loved one feeling stressed and snappy. Playful arguments may blow up into the real thing, so remember to keep it light. If things are strained you need to ensure you don’t let a molehill turn into a mountain, try to communicate with each other calmly.
Reversed Meaning
Single or spliced, all that hard work is about to pay off.
Singles won’t be solo for much longer, so make the most of any opportunities to meet people. If you’ve been umming and ahhing about an intriguing individual your questions will be answered. If you are wondering if someone reciprocates your romantic interest, the answer is likely to be ‘yes’. Maybe you have lacked confidence in the past, so don’t be afraid to make your voice heard, you have a right to express your needs.
Couples will find arguments and difficulties disappear like morning mist. Nevertheless, you should make sure that you are making enough time for each other.
