Short description
As Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin write in The Secrets of the Waite-Smith Tarot, the map depicts the process of building a pergola - an element of garden decor that is very popular in England. Katz and Goodwin write that they have photographs of this process involving Pamela Smith. However, unfortunately, there are no photographs in the book.
My friends who live in currently in England, they told me that building such a structure is a completely simple matter, literally in half an hour. It is used both as a support for climbing plants and as a shelter for gatherings. In a certain sense, the construction of a pergola is a metaphor for an easy, unburdensome process that gives a quick and obvious result.
We see the development of the plot of 5 Staves on. The built canopy is a place for holding a party.
But due to the fact that the card looks like a fight between young people, it began to be perceived as a fight, a competition. For example, I read about the parallels between the 5 Staves and the famous stick fights on the Venetian Bridge of Fists.
But Waite also pointed out that this is not a fight, but an imitation of a fight or even a sports game.

Basic meaning
Waite is not very consistent in describing the meanings of the 5 (Five) Tarot Staves (Wands). On the one hand, he views it as an imitation of struggle, a game, a competition, and on the other hand, he talks about the struggle to achieve wealth and fame. And even as a struggle for existence, bringing a touch of tragedy to the meaning of the card.
The inverted meaning of 5 (Five) of Staves (Wands) of the Tarot according to Waite is not too different in interpretation from the direct one: litigation, disputes, contradictions.
Modern meanings and interpretations of the Tarot card 5 (Five) of Wands are associated with the game as a competition, the rules of the game and the roles of the participants. Describes the map perfectly famous quote from William our Shakespeare: “All the world is a stage. There are women, men - all actors in it. They have their own exits and departures, and each plays more than one role.”
More than one role is also played in the meaning of the card. There are too many people, their interests are too different. It is too difficult to coordinate actions and achieve coordinated work.

Meaning in relationships
Open - hole card
Five of Staves - very open card. There are many, maybe even too many people involved in the situation. And everyone pursues their own interests. Unlike the 4 Staves, the Five indicates that the composition of the participants is not constant. People easily enter the 5 Staves and easily leave it. They dont have common goal, therefore they cannot be considered as a single group.
Relationship intensity
The meaning of 5 (Five) of Wands of the Tarot indicates that the intensity of the relationship is very high. This is a noisy, demonstrative relationship. Consciously or not, participants strive to make them public. The theatricality and demonstrativeness of the Five of Staves is very high.
Map as a scenario for relationships: love, family, relatives, work
Interpreting the meanings of Tarot cards in love and family relationships 5 (Five) Zhezlov often indicates demonstrative relationships, loud, noisy, with breaking dishes, with going to mom. Stormy reconciliations and equally stormy scandals do not come out of the blue. Some couples can live like this for years. And they are happy with everything. Disputes and other manifestations of emotions in this couple are perceived as convincing manifestations of passion and concern for each other.
Open relationships presuppose the possibility of intervention by any family member of any degree of relationship in the relationship between spouses or relatives. Why, relative, any neighbor considers it his duty to put in his two cents. The card does not make it clear whether what happened is an ordinary emotional game or a serious conflict. But in any case, the scenario “Who goes into the forest, and who gets firewood” plays out here.
The fact that there are companies living in such a regime is not surprising. It is surprising that some of them manage to achieve good results in business.

But more likely, the card says that you are either a spectator or a participant in the game, which means that expenses, significant ones at that, are inevitable, and winnings are more than doubtful.
General state of finances and trends of changes
It is interesting that the map does not say anything about the future; it is impossible to predict what it will be like financial position in a person blinded by excitement in the next hour. At the moment, what was accumulated in the past is being spent, but this situation is not stable, everything changes every minute.
Positive and negative impact of the card on income
There is only one way to make a profit of 5 Staves: become the one who determines the rules of the game, stop being a spectator or a participant.

Brief description of the card: The card depicts a stick fight. It's like both a game and training for a real fight. The fight is not real, the young people are simply overwhelmed with energy. But at the same time, we see that here it’s every man for himself. He who dared ate it.
Also, ideas on the Wands encounter similar opposition when trying to implement them - this is stone wall real world. This tests our ability to cope with difficulties.
The Five of Wands describes situations when a person is dissatisfied with what he has, he wants more and the desire to destroy everything that fetters him is too great. This is the period teenage crises. When the struggle for autonomy and independence begins.

In the most positive version, 5 of Zhezlov speaks of the need to hold a meeting, brainstorming to solve a problem, when all participants show healthy aggression and fight for success for the benefit of the common cause. In the drawing, the young people seem to be about to build a pentagram out of sticks - a well-known symbol of protection.

Characters: Such a person, regardless of gender, has a very good athletic figure, takes care of himself, is fast, energetic and courageous. Resolutely and boldly goes towards the intended goal.
A person gets into trouble, suffers from youthful maximalism, regardless of his passport age. He often gets involved in fights and tries to resolve issues by force. Divides the whole world into black and white, makes judgments on events regardless of the context. Humans are characterized by ambition and exorbitant pride. In the 19th century, this would have been a malicious duelist!) The person himself hinders his progress in life, all his problems are due to pride, arrogance and bad character.
Professions and field of activity: Athlete. Businessman. Collector.
Main meaning: The main meaning of the 5 of Wands is a challenge, an invitation to compete and see who is more worthy. This is not a life or death battle. A more playful version of the competition. This could be an argument, an offer to try yourself in a new business, or an invitation to do something extreme: karting, bungee jumping, diving. There is no need to fear the serious consequences of defeat here, besides, if there are no too negative cards in the layout, then you should have enough strength, although you will have to strain yourself. You should not miss the chances with this card, they will give you the opportunity to realize your abilities, test them in practice and believe in yourself.
If some offer comes under this card, then there may be a lot of hassle and worries in connection with this, but you will not receive anything other than promises.
It is very difficult to come to a compromise; a fight can decide the outcome. A calm, stable life seems to explode before your eyes.
Negative, inverted position: ostentatious flaunting of power, if the inverted Five of Wands describes your competitor, then all his courage and bravado are feigned and not supported by anything.
In the negative aspect there is also a lot of noise and unnecessary movement, but with disastrous results for the Questioner. Time, possibly money and opportunities will be lost.
Refusal of one's position, cowardice.
As a symbol of instability, the Five of Wands foretells a period of change: loss of work and social guarantees, termination of relationships, but all this must be confirmed by other cards in the layout.
Events are out of control, and the questioner is no longer able to change anything. Dangerous competition. You are drawn into a fight and are now forced to participate in it in order to protect what you have. This is a dishonest, unfair struggle, intrigue and litigation. Learn to participate only in worth it battles, and not waste time and energy.
Too many obstacles will give rise to the feeling that everything is going wrong and you are farther than ever from your goal.
The card may also speak of internal contradictions, unstable mental state, a violent phase when a person rushes from corner to corner. In terms of health, the card speaks of inflammatory process, temperature rise.
Interpretation in layouts:
The Five of Wands always speaks of transformation and change. The calm stage of your life has come to an end, and shocks and upheavals await you. The Five of Wands is like being caught in a current. fast river. It takes effort to get ashore.

This card speaks of defending your own interests among equally smart people. This is an opportunity to compare your capabilities and abilities with those of others. The characters on the map started a fight - it is unclear whether seriously or as a joke, however, it is obvious that this battle is clearly not real (at most - a training battle). However, the extent to which this is a fundamental conflict will be indicated by other cards in the layout.
The Five of Wands is a typical environment for a not particularly constructive forum - everyone competes with everyone and everyone disagrees with everyone, and still all this is not real, but only a convention. In the worst case, this is involvement in a clash, a battle of ideas, an aggressive discussion environment, the participants of which are unconstructive, do not respect each other, pick fights, and in any case you have to DEFEND yourself. At best, it is a useful brainstorming session in which you can test your ideas through disagreements with others.
The action of the Five of Wands tends to take place mainly at work, in relation to career. Its main meaning is constructive criticism and healthy competition. There is challenge and tension in it. She invites you to test your strength, will, skills, talents, knowledge in competition with others. This could be an exam or defense of a thesis, participation in some kind of competition, competition, or generally experiencing situations the experience of which will be useful in the future. Usually this card appears in situations where we need to show courage and demonstrate to others everything that we are capable of. Banzhaf notes that the most inconvenient and at the same time the most exciting thing is that you never know how it all, in fact, will end.
Sometimes she describes a situation where we are trying to attract the attention of other people, to somehow direct them, but no one listens to us or really cooperates, as a result, things don’t go well. In the Arcan space there is clearly a climate of disagreement, contradiction and rivalry. With a favorable card environment, you can successfully conduct disputes, take an authoritative position and convince your opponents.
Ancient interpretations speak of vain aspirations, unfulfilled desires, the card is considered negative, bringing obstacles, troubles, annoying interference, troubles, sometimes restrictions, burdening with unnecessary affairs, involvement in other people's problems. In combination with unfavorable cards - immature decisions or unattainable goals, unrealistic plans, quarrels and discord, and most importantly - persistence in a losing cause (this energy would be for peaceful purposes).
In general, we must agree that any Five breaks through the stability of the Four. This is a struggle - external, internal, a battle for supremacy, both external and internal.
But still modern interpretation cards cannot be considered negative. Firstly, Five of Wands problems may be unpleasant at the moment, but they usually resolve without any serious damage. Secondly, this is an exciting challenge thrown at us by fate, an invitation to measure our strengths and compete. We are offered to try our hand - perhaps in some kind of competition, dispute, or perhaps in some new business for us. We have the ability to do this, and we simply have a chance to use them, so there is no reason to fear serious defeat or damage, unless under a number of unfavorable circumstances.
The chances that this card offers should not be missed, because they give us the opportunity to be convinced of our abilities and to realize them. This card brings variety and change to a stagnant life. This is literally an attempt at accomplishment - the surrounding cards can suggest what will come of it. In a favorable card environment - vital energy, successful overcoming of problems. With the Major Arcana this is for sure important task, which needs to be solved on the path of development and expand the boundaries of your experience.
Cheerful and ambitious. Internal tension as a result of a challenge from the outside. The struggle for luck, wealth, success. Greed, tenacity, grip. The desire to “become one of the people” and “live like a human being”, sometimes - arrogance and pride. Sometimes a Five of Wands person is driven by the fear that he will not be noticed, not appreciated, or “overshadowed”; as a result, he manipulates and fights fiercely for his position. According to the Five of Wands, we do not allow ourselves to be driven into a corner and prove that we are not fooled.
Intrapersonal conflict, the struggle with illusions and contradictory aspirations in oneself. In this state, according to the law of projection, it may seem that the whole world is up in arms against us, but in fact the struggle is unfolding within due to the fact that actions do not correspond to goals, and genuine desires do not correspond to the aspirations that we seem to actively profess. In general, the Five of Wands is a crisis on the path to self-improvement.
Sometimes the card becomes an indicator of people for whom participation in various contests and competitions is the norm of life, and this could equally well be karate, playing the violin and ballroom dancing.
The Five of Wands can talk about the struggle for a place in the sun, in a negative card environment - about the danger of turning into a “scapegoat”, or, at best, into a “seagull named Jonathan Livingston”. The Five of Wands man is desperate and brave, he rises to the occasion, accepts challenges, looks for adventures on his own head and enters into controversy on any issue. This is a “tough nut to crack” (I remember the phrase from the film of the same name - “only John can drive a person like that!”). Pushing him into a corner is an impossible mission. He is characterized by ambition and irritability, passion, love of games and experiments.
He often introduces dysgramonia into a stable situation - no matter in his own life or in someone else's life. He likes to prove his strength and overcome his fears, just on principle (although he sometimes curses his agility).
The Five of Wands corresponds to revolutionary renewal after a phase of stability, when the system, which was previously in harmony, ceases to function as before. It’s not that she’s crumbling into dust, but rather that she’s facing a challenge. The map ideally describes a developmental crisis, for example, the phase of adolescent withdrawal. This is a typical card internal growth and internal conflict, when different sides of different levels of development collide in us, snapping evolutionary tails, and the ego at this moment tries to resist. The struggle of different aspirations can cause discomfort, and yet creative cleansing energy is clear in this card - for a person who is somewhat stagnant (overstayed...staying...) it is simply healing! This is the power of development, the power of movement, destroying a certain fixation.
According to this map, we combine different paradigms within ourselves.
If Aries includes sources of energy, then Leo carries them outside. The first decade of Leo shows individual self-disclosure. A person, realizing his originality, learns to manage himself, saving effort and developing a strategy of behavior so as not to be led by circumstances. He takes fate into own hands- and according to European tradition, this decade is ruled by Saturn. But life goals and the inner truth of one person may not coincide with the intentions and outlook on life of other people: excessive individualism and the pursuit of only one’s own goals limit the possibilities of implementation and lead to obstacles and conflicts.
Astrologically, Saturn blocks the creative energy of Leo, preventing him from developing. This concentrated charge of energy seeks expression in what sometimes looks like a solitary rebellion. Saturn in Leo gives you the strength to be yourself and go against everyone, without seeking recognition and giving it up ahead of time.
Light and Shadow (advice and caution)
Advice: "Anguard!" You should not become sour, shy away from the fight and give up your position before the fight begins. Now more than ever, willpower and determination of thought are required. It makes sense to take on the challenge and prove yourself. You can argue, defending your point of view, turn your rivals into allies, fight for your positions, show your abilities, try your hand, without being afraid to get a few bumps and approaching the matter with sports passion. "It will be good workout, and you will like it." We must use the accumulated life experience to overcome the vicissitudes of fate and show perseverance in achieving the intended goal. You shouldn’t be afraid of competition either in work or in love - this is a chance to show yourself with the best side and achieve success.
Warning: do not break spears where it is not necessary. Beware of rash actions, do not get into trouble, do not do anything “on a dare” or “out of principle.” The map can also serve as an indicator that excessive attention is being paid to a particular area of activity. There is no point in turning to others for help and advice - encountering opposition is guaranteed.
Competition, competition and more competition. Intrigues and conflicts, but not particularly destructive ones, an atmosphere of mutual disagreement, “there is a lot of noise, but little sense,” things are still there. Disputes over resources, property, copyrights, areas of activity. There are a lot of disagreements on all sorts of production issues, which clearly does not improve the working atmosphere.
This may be the interference of outsiders in the affairs of the organization, difficulties with the integration of new employees, and other shocks in the organizational culture. Adaptation to existing conditions and their creative transformation. Sometimes - the emergence of a new manager who will not find it easy to establish contact with his subordinates.
One of the meanings of this card is empty troubles. If the questioner wants to start some kind of business, this card guarantees these chores, running around, vanity, lack of time, clashes and promises, but the result is not at all guaranteed. A pile of problems that need to be resolved, and other cards will tell you what will come of it.
It is also a map of learning, training, coaching. They walk along it professional training, exercises, development of physical and other abilities, righteous labors in educational situations in which a person actually faces both reality and his own weaknesses, fear, lack of energy, the need to obey someone. This card often describes a situation that people with different levels preparation, in different ways thinking, and they need to cooperate.
A typical map of competitions and defenses (in the academic sense). In a favorable card environment - success in school, sports or on stage. Attracting attention to yourself.
There is exhausting work in an atmosphere of conflicts and overcoming many obstacles (other cards will show whether the game is worth the candle). Organizational changes that are well described by the words “the best is the enemy of the good.”
In rare cases, a job change. IN socially Through this card one can get rid of everything unnecessary, leave the usual social context and try to find oneself in a new one. At best, the Five of Wands can open up new horizons and provide new opportunities in one or another particular field of activity.
Intense competition in the chosen field of activity, an attempt to conquer new territories. With a favorable card environment, new opportunities will emerge in a specific field of activity.
The map shows that the money itself will obviously not appear. Its traditional meaning is competition for financial gain, battle for wealth. It can describe a period when a lot of time and effort are spent on restoring the financial balance undermined by spending (how to make money, where to win, how to get more material values). Labor, work, wasting time to earn more, “live like people,” fight for profit, luck, and maybe the fight to preserve what you already have. In a negative card environment - money disputes, dubious benefits, fraud .
Traditionally, the Five of Wands is considered a card of profit, wealth, abundance, luxury, successful financial transactions. She says that whoever seeks will find, and whoever wants to get rich will succeed (if other signs in the reading are favorable). But as a symbol of the destruction of the comfort of the quaternary scheme, the Five of Wands can mean the beginning of an unstable period, the loss of certain social guarantees, etc.
This card may signal certain difficulties related to housing. It is possible to move to a new place of residence.
Together it’s cramped, but apart it’s boring. There is a disturbing discomfort in relationships that can range from minor disagreements to major scandals. Personal confrontations flare up every now and then and for any reason, fueled by ambitions and the desire to prove something to someone. This may simply be a grinding-in phase (interestingly, one of the ancient meanings of this Arcanum is “prudent marriage”). As a rule, the friction of the Five of Wands serves mutual development, but surrounded by negative cards it can turn out to be an empty “battle of the titans.”
The card may indicate selfishness, rivalry, jealousy, unwillingness to give in and secret enmity, as well as unsatisfied sexual desires. In some cases, this card, oddly enough, may indicate conception - apparently, this is a significator of competition between animated spermatozoa that do not intend to kill each other. This could be “fighting off” an object of interest from competitors (the surrounding cards will show with what success and whether it is worth breaking spears), or simply the appearance of attraction to a person with whom nothing like this was previously expected in a relationship, but now this causes an internal conflict. Sometimes the Five of Wands symbolizes revitalization of libido and a cheerful “who will win”
It also symbolizes liberation from unnecessary connections (sometimes even leaving home, but for this there must be confirmation in the layout). If we're talking about about a possible divorce, there will be a lot of factors influencing the course of the case (and not at all making it easier - there will be a lot of noise, each side will fight for its own, and the result, apparently, will be meager and not worth all the broken copies). The best thing the Five of Wands gives is the release of accumulated tension, most often through conflict, but if the situation is stagnant, this is worth a lot.
In an inverted form, there will still be a lot of trouble and noise, and the result for the questioner is rather unfavorable (bruises and bumps). Traditionally: quarrels, discord, troubles, troubles, insidious tricks. At best, it is taking advantage of someone else’s quarrel or rivalry (“when two large states trying to tear each other apart small state a chance appears"), sometimes the opportunity to observe someone else’s conflict from the outside or resolve the conflict in a roundabout way (something like “buying” victory in a competition). Most often - lack of success in the chosen activity. Ancient meaning- unnecessary rivalry, a lost bet. This may be the end of a period of struggle, conflict and stress....because the person is out of the game. Cancel sporting event, postponed batch, postponed exam.
Lack of cooperation, stupid, destructive criticism, injustice, inability to combine different points of view, sabotage of negotiations. As an indicator of personality, it can mean a cold and hard mind, an inability and unwillingness to benefit from life lessons, maximalism, dividing everything into black and white.
Failure in competitions. Dishonest refereeing, fraud.
Insecurity of social position, involvement in certain processes against one’s own desire.
High or low self-esteem.
With Strength - a situation of disagreement, measuring strength
With Moderation - coordination of interests, harmony, joint work
With the Tower - bad luck
With the World - integration, peace, joint activities
With the Four of Wands - luck.
With the Seven of Wands - opposition, battle
With the Ten of Wands - quarrels, squabbles, resistance, collision with obstacles
With the Five of Swords there is frantic rivalry to the point of betrayal. The Kiss of Judas is somewhere nearby. Dangerous discord, confrontation between sides.
With the Two of Cups - truce, agreement, joint movement
With the Two of Pentacles - coordinated work, peaceful resolution of conflicts
With the Nine of Pentacles reversed - theft.
Reversed with the King of Cups - trial, loss, with the King of Swords - everything is definitely not in favor of the querent.
“Dispute is the father of all things” (Heraclitus)
“The main thing is not to win, the main thing is to participate in the competition” (Olympic principle)
