Today’s guide card: Five of Wands

Five of Rods

Five of Rods or Wands

Five youngsters are sparring. In this version, they all grow from the stem of the same tree; but in most other versions too it is pretty clear they are probably brothers, or cousins.

There is a distinct lack of leadership and teamwork here; possibly skirmishes over petty issues.

Keywords:

• Small issues
• Petty fights
• Lack of leadership
• Take charge!

Interpretation:

This struggle may lead to some success if you take a leadership role.  Mostly however this probably means that you’re in for pointless family squabbles.  They are a drain on your energy; think carefully if they are worth the fighting.

Rods or Wands have also been associated with:

• fighting
• growth
• transformation (they are wands, after all)
• leadership (as in, a sceptre)

Action:

Try to avoid ructions with the family this weekend as they may end up simply distracting.  Stay focused on your goal.

Right now:

Take the next step towards accomplishing that goal.
