Here again, the 5 shares the same energies as the 3. With the suit of Batons, the common energy is the contradictory powers of Air/Earth. Since the Batons are an ascending suit, the 5 of Batons is more dignified than the 3 of Batons (Futile Merger).
As we've seen the Pentad can be seen as the balancing point on a scale. The opposing energies of Air and Earth (Heat, Cold, Wet, Dry) place a great strain on the Pentad to hold them all together. True to the 'laborious' nature of the Batons, this 5 endures against the odds, and does whatever is necessary to keep these contradictory energies from flying apart. The 5 of Batons can be symbolic of a 'stress point' of any construct, or reveal the necessity of bearing a great burden to maintain order.
