Okay, so the other day, I started messing around with tarot cards again. It’s been a while, and I was feeling a bit stuck, so I figured, why not see what the cards have to say? I had this specific question in mind, a simple “yes or no” type of deal, and I decided to focus on the 5 of Wands for some reason.
I shuffled the deck, cut it, and laid out the cards. And there it was, the 5 of Wands, staring right back at me. Now, from what I remembered, this card is all about conflict and struggle. Not exactly the positive vibes I was hoping for.
My Experiment
- First off, I pulled the 5 of Wands in an upright position. From my research online, upright generally means “yes,” but with some serious effort involved. I thought to myself “Well, this Tarot card means it’s not gonna be easy”.
- Then, I started thinking about the spiritual side of things. The 5 of Wands, I read somewhere, can point to inner struggles that mess with your spiritual growth. I did some self-reflection, trying to pinpoint any negative vibes holding me back.
- Next, I found a few sources that straight-up said the 5 of Wands is a “no” in a yes/no reading. They talked about it signaling a bad time for new projects, and that there might be tough times ahead. Felt a bit discouraging, but I kept going.
- I even came across a mention of the Page of Wands, which apparently screams “yes!” But I decided to stick with the 5 of Wands for this experiment.
- Finally, I did a few more readings, pulling the 5 of Wands multiple times. The answer stayed consistent – a “no,” or at best, a “yes, but it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.”
So, what did I learn from this little tarot experiment? Well, it confirmed my initial feeling that the 5 of Wands is generally a negative card in a yes/no reading. It’s all about conflict, struggle, and facing challenges head-on. It reminded me that sometimes, the path forward isn’t clear, and that’s okay. It’s about recognizing the obstacles and finding ways to work through them. Not exactly the answer I wanted, but definitely the answer I needed to hear. Also I realized maybe it’s not the time to move forward on something new.

And that’s my story, folks. No magic solutions, just a bit of messy, real-life tarot exploration. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
