Calm your mind before it eats itself. On this card, five young men are in healthy competition – or ‘mock’ competition, one-upping each other and proving themselves. They all brandish their ‘weapons’ – stout clubs – but they’re not really hitting each other. In fact, this card can even stand for martial arts sometimes, and this picture does remind me of when they swing those little clubs around on that chain (nunchucks) without really hitting anything. Sparring. With the Five of Clubs, sometimes it’s all the sparkplugs in your head going off all over the place ‘competing’ for priority, which along with the ever-conflicted and uneven 5, can get stressful.
Reversed: it is essential to rest your mind. This card can indicate someone who is stimulated by competition, and has a hard time being motivated without it. Reversed, everybody drops their clubs and there is no more healthy debate, back and forth, tossing around of ideas. In any case it’s not working, whether there are other people involved or just yourself and the way you manage your mind.
Prescription: Mental break, it’s Saturday.
