The Five of Wands shows up when you may need to fight for what matters to you. Sometimes it shows up when you need to make a course correction and you get backlash from those around you. It is ultimately a card of inner strength...a form of spiritual or emotional weightlifting. Overcoming an internal struggle through making a powerful decision can change the direction of your whole life. In a relationship reading, it may indicate vying for the attention of someone who gets alot of attention. The person you are asking about might need a challenge ...a need for the chase...to get their interest. Being a number five card, some sort of struggle is indicated. The exciting beginning of the situation is past, and the end result is not yet reached. You are smack in the middle and need to weigh the energy exchange. In an otherwise positive reading this card indicates strong vitality.
Reversed: I don't use reverse cards, as every card has inherently positive and challenging aspects, depending on the client and the reading.
