Suit of Wands · fire
The Five of Wands is the lively friction that arises when many wills push at once. It can be genuine rivalry or simply the messy energy of unaligned voices, and it asks how you engage with disagreement. Consider whether the struggle sharpens you or merely scatters your strength.
