Hi everyone,
I've been trying out a few different spreads and approaches toward learning a bit more about a certain relationship, currently not romantic in nature though my inquiries are about changes in that, and the 5 of Wands keeps coming up in the readings, usually in important spots. On my Rider-Waite deck, the image is of a bunch of boys (play-) fighting with sticks. My booklet isn't improving matters at all; the interpretation it offers just confuses me more.
One possibility is perhaps something about love or flirting as a game, though there doesn't even seem to be agreement on whether it is a play-fight being portrayed on the card or not. Another, based on the American Tarot Association's page, implies it might be something about the odds being against one or being outnumbered. Another, based on what the equivelent playing card suggests, is it is about new alliances and friends.
So, what would the folks here incline to say about it? Alas, I didn't write down any of the full spreads, though to me they sounded generally good even if they say the fellow seems to think I am some kind of gold-digger...
