Five of Wands

Conflict · Chaos · Competition · Diversity

Five hands, representing the “five” wands, emerge from separate flower pots rather than the same soil—emphasizing their differences and disunity.

These hands grow from the earth, symbolizing this card’s association with Saturn in Leo, combining groundedness (earth) with fiery ego or expression (Leo).

Each hand is entangled in struggle with the others, illustrating disorder and the competitive clamor central to this card’s meaning.
Associated Sign: Saturn in Leo
