The traditional Rider Waite depiction of Five of Wands card features five figures holding large wooden rods with sprouts budding off of them in competitive struggle. The five figures seem to be fighting with one another, however, if you look closely, they are holding these wands aggressively without attacking each other. Chaos and conflict ensue as they challenge each other, with no one seeming to want to compromise. Each figure wears a different outfit, representing their different points of view and backgrounds. They may be in a disorganized formation, each trying to assert dominance or gain an upper hand. The atmosphere is tense, and the energy suggests a clash of wills rather than cooperation. The Five of Wands is associated with themes of competition, conflict, and challenges. It signifies a period where individuals may be working against each other rather than collaborating. The card encourages the recognition of differing opinions and perspectives, prompting the need for open communication and finding common ground.
In the Mystic Monday’s Tarot deck, the Five of Wands card is depicted as five wands that are zoomed up close, that are chaotically placed on top of the other to show the difference in opinion, perspective, and even possibly, aggression. There could be competition and rivalry here.

Five of Wands Numerology
Five symbolizes change, instability, and transition. When you pull a card associated with the number 5, it means that you are in a power struggle or in a dynamic where the power is imbalanced. This can bring a feeling of loss of control where you will have to take the power back into your own hands. Numerology 5 brings change that is often uncomfortable, telling you to step outside of your comfort zone. However, it is a reminder that change is inevitable and that you must adapt to continue forward, even if it is challenging.
General Five of Wands Card Upright Meaning
The smell of competition is high in the air! Everybody around you seems to have an opinion and no one is willing to listen. A little competition never hurts nobody, but only if people are willing to compromise down the line. If you’re seen as a rival, it’s only because you have many talents to offer that cannot be ignored. Diversity is good and much needed, whether it is opinions or culture. Differences can allow for greater understanding and compassion on a human level. Being seen and heard is everyone’s desire, and if you want that for yourself, you must be willing to do the same for someone else. There may be an inner conflict playing out where you are pulled by the different parts of yourself. Tune in to what you truly want. Only you know what is best for you.

General Five of Wands Reversed Meaning
Conflict is uncomfortable, however, running away from your problems will not solve anything. Nipping it in the bud can help you practice confronting the issues head on, instead of shying away. In the act of avoidance, you tend to scatter your energy and prolong the conflict, making it even worse! This could also be a pattern of compromising your values to appease others. You may be feeling competitive vibes, especially from your coworkers. Listen to your gut instincts on who you can trust, as some people will not have your best interests at heart. Learn to choose your battles and if this is worth fighting for. Reserve your energy for bigger battles ahead and come to a truce to ease the situation. Sometimes keeping the peace is more worthwhile than being right.
