Tough conversations could lead to social conflicts at this time.

For this luck reading, you drew the Five of Wands.

Humans are finicky creatures. We try to coexist, but social politics create tricky dynamics which occasionally leads to conflict. Most people try to avoid fighting, but it is inevitable to get caught in the thick of it sometimes.

People don’t really fight the way they’re portrayed on the upright Five of Wands anymore, thankfully. The group on this card is stuck in an intense physical battle, hashing it out with their wands like their lives depend on it.

Disagreements are a part of life. People can’t possibly see eye-to-eye at all times. Now, we’ve modernized communication styles to the point where physical aggression is less common as a conflict resolution tactic like on the Five of Wands. However, there is much to be learned from the overarching themes of the card even in modern contexts.

Pent up aggression can bubble over, and the results can leave you short of breath. Fighting with loved ones is never fun, but even harsh conflicts can help us build better communication skills for the future.

You may be down on your luck now, but there are brighter days ahead of you once the conflict is resolved.

Prepare Yourself for Harsh Conflict

A fight may break out between a core social group that you’re involved in. Whether arguing with friends, family, or colleagues, fighting never feels good. Everyone wishes to get along in harmony instead of squaring off amongst ourselves.

This unlucky period may manifest in physical environments like work, home, or school. Or, you could find yourself engrossed in heated online debate on a social media platform. Either way, it will feel extremely uncomfortable for a short time.

It doesn’t have to be super serious, though. The conflict could arise with something as simple as a sports team losing and fans feeling passionately about. Be careful of your surroundings, as you could end up in a sticky situation over something small.

Egos are powerful things. They can cause people to do and say things they don’t mean, which they usually regret later. All conflict tends to dissipate over time, but it certainly stings in the moment. Allow yourself to feel all of your feelings, but remember that this, too, shall pass.

The human experience is like riding a wave. Your luck will flow up and down, but even when it is down, it can always come back up.
