Today's Tarot Card: Five of Wands

In the card for the Rider Waite deck, you see 5 males brandishing wands, in what appears to be a fight. It seems that each man is having to defend themselves, instead of putting down their weapons and trying to find a compromise and/or common interests. The five of wands card is all about conflict, about the loss of balance in one's life - either emotionally, psychologically, spiritually or even physically (such as having problems at work or at home). Because wands are associated with the element of fire, which is all about passion and other powerful emotions, things can get heated real fast, so it is going to fall on someone's shoulders to keep a cool head in order to prevent this from turning in to an all out battle.

If the question is about how to bring more excitement in to your life, the 5 of wands suggests stimulation that will encourage creativity without bringing about too much chaos in your life and the lives of those around you. Use the creative element as a turning point for change in your life.
