正位牌义
Imitation, as, for example, sham fight, but also the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune. In this sense it connects with the battle of life. Hence some attributions say that it is a card of gold, gain, opulence.
逆位牌义
Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
这张牌在做什么
It represents the friction of many wills in one space. It appears where rivalry, debate or scramble is the price of the game. The question is whether the fight is making anything.
文化与传统的读法
In the traditional reading the Five is imitation, struggle and the battle of life. It has long been read as competition and gold, and by reversal as litigation, disputes and trickery. The wands clash; rarely does one fall.

常见问题
Is the Five of Wands a bad card?
Not necessarily. It is contention and competition — often the normal friction of ambition, though it can mean disputes. The clash rarely ends in defeat.
Five vs Seven of Wands?
The Five is many fighting many; the Seven is one holding a position against many. One is the scrum, the other the defence.
