Five of Wands | IV - The Emperor
Five of Wands
Imagery: Five young people wave their wands at each other. The conflict doesn’t seem to be very serious, but it’s quite intense.
The Five of Wands is a card of disagreement, dissension, competition, and setbacks to be overcome.
IV - The Emperor
Imagery: An emperor sits on his throne holding a scepter and a globe. He is poised and seems to be considering his next action.
The Emperor rules his empire with a steady hand. He makes decisions calmly and with great thought.
Notice the difference in energy between these two cards. The people in the Five of Wands are battling it out, likely without considering what they really want and what the best way to get it might be. The Emperor seems to be glancing at them a bit disdainfully. He seems to be thinking… just stop that.
In July, remember these two very different approaches to any decisions or tasks that present themselves. It is probably wiser to take the slow, deliberate approach of the Emperor rather than the rash approach of the people in the Five of Wands.
Key Words for July:
Consider, plan, take calm action
