King of Wands | Five of Swords
King of Wands
Imagery: A king sits on his throne holding a leafy wand. A lizard is at his feet. There are lions and circular lizards on the back of his throne, symbols of power and completion.
The King of Wands is confident in his abilities. He is unconcerned with what others think of him. He rules as he sees fit, with fairness and caring for his kingdom.
Five of Swords
Imagery: A man in the foreground is holding three swords, with two more on the ground. He appears to be gloating about getting all the swords. Two dejected men walk off in the background.
The Five of Swords is about a win-lose conflict. There is no fairness here. Through whatever means, the man in the foreground has managed to get all the swords.
June could bring some potential issues from other people. Look at these two cards. The man in the Five of Swords is looking towards the King of Wands. He seems to be challenging the King. But the King is ignoring him. He knows what he’s doing and doesn’t feel the need to accept or even acknowledge the challenge.
This month, if you find that people are trying to get a rise out of you, be your confident self, bless them, and move on.
