Your current situation

The Five of Wands indicates that a struggle of some kind is taking place. This struggle is not necessarily a physical struggle or or a conflict with another person but can also reflect a struggle with a project you are working on. There is an old military saying, 'No battle plan survives the battle.' After all, your rivals also have a plan so even though you may feel challenged, indulge in the competition as that is the way to win the battle.

What is in your way

The Devil appears when we are in the dark and represents bondage. It is almost always a blockage card as it indicates that you are being manipulated by others. Sometimes this manipulation is obvious but you feel powerless to change things. If this is the case, you should be asking yourself why you are powerless as you may discover that the manipulator needs you more than you need them. Other times, however, the manipulation is through lies or misdirection and once you see the truth it is possible to put a stop to the manipulation.

What you are hoping to achieve

The Knight of Swords represents a Knight charging into battle. This is an indication that you will be moving aggressively towards the completion of some of your goals.

What is influencing your efforts

The Six of Pentacles is indicating that your more charitable side is influencing your decision making. Supporting those in need can be a soul-affirming activity. Just make sure that your charity is for the right reasons. Some people use charity as a way of judging those who have fallen upon hard times. Wielding power over those less fortunate than you is not charity. Sometimes the most worthy of people have bad luck so a small bit of help can get them back on their feet. That is the true power of charity.

Past influences

The Two of Swords is all about denial. Hiding your emotions while pretending things are different. In the past position this card is a good indication that your current problems are a result of hiding your emotions while pretending that things are different. This card tells us that it is time to take another look at the past but this time without wearing your rose-coloured glasses.

The near future

The King of Wands in the near future is an indication that you wish to be the master of your own destiny. To be in control, you have to be able and willing to do the work. Lead by example not vanity otherwise you may not be in charge for long.

Potential outcome

The Knight of Pentacles is about being realistic. Appearing in the future position often indicates that you are too practical. You are afraid to take chances and try new things. While there may be risks to trying something new, there are also payoffs. If there is something you are hesitating about, take a look at what the risks are as they may not be as high as you fear.
