Five of Wands
The Fool journeys now to the Five of Wands, where everything appears to be going wrong for him as he encounters other people's perspectives and disagreements. This brings frustration, as everyone wants their say, and setbacks are guaranteed, albeit temporary ones. Everything can be resolved; it is just a matter of talking with others and not ignoring what is on their minds. This is a time for patience, healthy debate, or brainstorming.
Frustration, frustration, and a bit more frustration thrown in for good measure.
We encounter issues that can seem bigger than they are; they make us see hurdles and issues, which create tension, and we just cannot seem to catch a break with this card. Wands are generous, and with a few people adding to the melting pot, or even more than one idea in your mind battling for supremacy, you can get stuck in a gridlock of ideas, views, and opinions.
Annoyance can be the result, and it can leave us exasperated with too many voices to be content with. Everybody wants to be right, and it can test patience.
Wires get crossed in communication, and we find that we face trivial disagreements and obstacles, which will not feel that small, yet thankfully, just watch and they will disappear quickly.
Expect to disagree with others and even yourself, and cooperation will be limited. Thrashing out our issues will not do any harm, even if feelings do get hurt.
Those are not mountains, they are molehills!

I recently did a reading with Pam and was very happy with her insight. She was very accurate and was able to help bring clarity and minimize doubts about some recent changes in my life. I would absolutely book another reading and look forward to reading with her again.

I returned to Pam for a reading this week after an amazingly accurate reading from her last year. She’s given me the insight that I simply couldn’t see on my own.I feel much calmer and much more grounded about this issue now.Pam thank you for your compassion and clarity and for sharing your gift!
