The Five of Wands

Like children that fight with each other, what The Five of Wands card is said to symbolize is that futile pugilistic nature of some people to compete over things. While the children will not hurt or kill one another, even a mock battle will have a victor, a child that comes out on top. It is because of this that The Five of Wands card is related to the idea of contest. It is a fight that will not be a matter of life and death, but might possibly have a very important meaning to all of those participating such as a fight for honor or justice. This card lets you know to stand up for what you believe in even if a struggle is involved.

When The Five of Wands card shows up where the romance fortune is told on a tarot spread, it is sometimes hard to read. This is because many couples argue frequently, so chances are the person being read, when told to stand up for what is right, will think that this applies to the fight that they are having. Forcing their opinion on their lover during a fight is never a good way for them to help their relationship and advice such as this may make it even worse. It is possible that this means almost the opposite. It is too easy to stick to your own opinion and insist that you are the correct one. What takes more courage and is more of a battle on your part is being able to see through the eyes of your significant other and think that there really could be something to what they are saying. Try to see their side of the argument and then you will know what really matters. Don't just stand up for yourself; stand up for your lover.
