✦ Upright Meaning

Five figures spar with raised wands, none clearly winning. This card marks competition, friction or disagreement — chaotic, but usually more bark than bite.

✦ Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean conflict avoidance, tension finally resolving, or disagreements that have turned more serious than before.
