Romance, Love Or Relationships:

If you are currently in a committed love relationship when The reversed Five of Wands appears, what looks like conflict on the surface can actually be very beneficial to your relationship (provided both parties ‘fight fair,’) as you will learn more about yourselves, and each other, and clear the air. If you are looking for love or have your heart set on someone who doesn’t seem to be ‘moving forward’ with you, know that their reluctance has more to do with their issues than with you. If you really want this person, you will need to be patient.

Card Meanings: Reaching Agreements, Extreme Aggression, Suppressed Temper, End Of Conflict/ Row/ Struggle, Battle Fatigue, Intimidation, Harmony, Compromise, Lack Of Competition, War, Finding Solutions, Peace, Shyness, Order, Fear Of Confrontation, Short Fuse, New Opportunities, Generosity, Looking For An Argument, Focus, Control, Cooperation

A day ruled by the Lord of Strife is bound to have its inherent problems. This card brings restriction, limitation, frustration and annoyance with it. Often these problems will be experienced in the workplace, and they sometimes indicate that we feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks that we need to get through. Expect this day to be one in which even minor things create their own difficulties and obstacles. First and foremost, we all need to take our senses of humour to work with us!! It’s probably also useful to regard a 5 of Wands day as a ‘bad attitude’ day. That could as easily be our own as anyone else’s, as well! So, having wrapped yourself up in your sense of humour, study the workload in front of you, and leave all the things you know will drive you mad till the atmosphere is better. Try to pick out tasks that you will enjoy. That way if they frustrate you, at least you’ll enjoy the bits before and afterwards!

Assess your own attitude carefully and try to dispel any nagging negativity. Isolate anything that looks like it is an inner conflict brewing, and write it down to address soon (they all tend to come to the surface on this day). Also assess the mood of those people you come into contact with, and avoid any who seem to be having the same sort of bad attitude day as you!! That should minimise the conflict you meet. Finally, at the end of the day try hard to shed anything that you have picked up along the way. Use whatever method you find most effective to de-stress, in the hope that you’ll have a better day tomorrow!! By the way, the affirmation is designed to be hard to say – hopefully it’ll make you laugh!!

Book Details
Portable Magic: Undines are useful in dealings connected with affection or love, and make good ritual agents in these affairs. A poltergeist associated with elemental Water would be accompanied by showers, rain storms, dampness, coolness, broken water pipes or plumbing fixtures, and the sudden and unexplained presence of wetness or water on the walls, floors, bedding, or clothing.

Reversed Cards: Some people are team players. Some people are not. Maybe it’s you or maybe it’s someone you know, but if this card is showing up in the shadow aspect, you can be assured someone is stirring up trouble just because they can. Now don’t get me wrong—not everyone has to be a team player. But the Five of Wands does work much better when everyone is focusing on the same outcome. There is great potential when the energy of this card is channeled correctly, but all it takes is one person to not want the same result as everyone else and you have sabotage on your hands.

Portable Magic: Those just learning Tarot magic who have no knowledge of astrological symbolism are advised to work their first rituals without using planetary modifiers. Better that the action of the ritual be somewhat weaker than the wrong energies be applied due to ignorance of what the planets signify. Once you acquire a basic familiarity with the techniques of Tarot magic, you can add the planetary modifiers to the ritual mix by placing them on their ruling signs. Modifiers placed on their own signs will act with great purity and force. Almost any ritual purpose can be achieved by putting the trumps of the planets on the trumps of the signs they rule.
