Meaning of Five of Wands
The Five of Wands shows five figures waving their wands in a messy scuffle. It announces conflict, competition and a clash of egos or ideas. It is not always serious: sometimes it is the friction needed for everyone to stand by their position. It asks you to channel the tension constructively.
“I turn friction into fuel for growth.”
