5 of Wands Tarot Meaning and Interpretation

The 5 of Wands often refers to competition. Usually this is in the career/work arena, but sometimes it can refer to romantic rivals. Don’t be afraid of competing, know that you have something to offer and can be successful. But you have to try to see results. It’s like trying to win the lottery – if you don’t buy a ticket, you can’t possibly win. So, try!

General

When this card appears, your need to believe in yourself is stronger than ever. Hold your head up high, and have faith that you will end up in the place that is right for you. You may be thinking of making a career change and if so then you are likely to be successful if that is what you choose to do.

Love

If there is a person you have your eye on he or she may be being pursued by several people. Even so, give it your best shot. You need to know that you have done all that you can for this potential relationship where your heart is involved. This can also work the other way too. What that means is that you are going to be pursued by several interested people romantically.

If you don’t have someone in mind and are looking, make sure that your attitude is correct. What I mean is that if you believe that nobody is ever going to be interested in you then there is a chance you are at the beginning of a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, believe that you can attract true love. That’s a much better self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you are currently in a relationship, then the 5 of Wands indicates that competition with your partner needs to be carefully controlled. Don’t let reactions get out of hand. As an example, something as simple as a game of Monopoly has the potential to cause hurt feelings that can lead to an escalation of anger.

The other possibility is that someone out there has their eye on your partner. So, don’t be complacent and take your partner for granted. Make sure that they would rather stay with you than be with someone else.

Money and Finances

Even though money may be tight, try to look at your financial situation calmly and dispassionately. You may not be able to meet all your obligations immediately, but that does not mean that you will never be able to meet them. Do what you can, and be honest about the situation. Things will be better financially soon, likely in a matter of weeks.

Work and Career

Even though you are facing competition at work just make sure you play your cards right. That way you can compete successfully. The only way to lose for sure is not to try. Play fair even if all around you are not doing so. People who play dirty may seem to win in the short term, but as Gandhi said, that sort of win is never, ever permanent.

If you are looking for work don’t be put off by people who are telling you that the job market is totally depressed and you will never find anything worth having. That is simply not so. Yes, the job market may be depressed but that doesn’t mean that every decent job has disappeared. Don’t listen to them.

Health

You may be frustrated in your search for answers about your health. If you’re being blocked, pushing forward may not be the best response. Sometimes the best solution is to go around the obstacle. At minimum, give yourself a break for a few hours. You could use the rest. You may be working far too hard, which could affect your health negatively.

Spirituality

It’s difficult to grow spiritually if you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off. Take time to rest, to do nothing. Create space for yourself to be quiet and hear the music of the spheres. Life is not all about competition. Everyone needs room sometimes to just be. Give yourself this gift of time and space, and you should see and feel spiritual growth in response.
