Where are you finding yourself in conflict…and why?

The Five of Wands often points to tension, competition, or internal dissonance. Sometimes, that friction is necessary. Conflict can be a sacred catalyst, especially when differing perspectives challenge us to grow. A clash of ideas can spark innovation, deepen our beliefs, and sharpen our sense of self.

But this card also carries a caution: not all conflict is meaningful. It asks you to examine the battles you're engaging in. Are they aligned with your values, or are you reacting out of ego, habit, or unresolved emotion?

Are you entering the arena with purpose or simply swinging because everyone else is?

Let this card be a moment to pause. You don’t need to abandon your fire but make sure it's being fueled by truth, not chaos.

Let’s take a moment to reflect.

Where does the disharmony and unease lie? Is it in a relationship, a friendship, your career, or even self?

There is a deep knowing within you that something just doesn’t feel “right”. And that is okay - although may be uncomfortable. This card asks you to be honest with yourself.

The Lovers reversed speaks to misalignment. A choice unmade. A connection out of sync. It often surfaces when we’re denying a truth we’re not ready to face, or when we’ve been choosing with our head while silencing the voice of the heart.

This is a call for alignment. It is time.

You’re allowed to re-evaluate. You’re allowed to change your mind. And above all, you’re allowed to choose you.

Welcome to your breakthrough.

The Devil reversed signals a powerful shift. A loosening of the chains that have quietly held you back. Whether it’s a self-sabotaging behavior, a toxic pattern, or an external influence that’s lost its grip, you’re beginning to reclaim your power.

This card shows up when awareness returns. When you start to see the truth of what has been keeping you small. Not to punish yourself, but to liberate yourself.

It may not be an instant release. But the fact that you’re here, reading this, means you’ve already started. You’ve said no to the illusion and yes to your own sovereignty.

The Devil reversed invites you to keep going.
