Keywords
Keywords most accurately express the main essence of the map.
A game
You and I are playing games. There is a book by Johan Huizinga - “Homo ludens” - “Man at Play”. We play games all the time. For example, a teacher gives a lecture to students, this is a game of teacher and students. The young man got a new job. There are many games going on there: career, undercover, love, financial fraud, favorites, outcasts.
With whom and what are you going to play, what games are you involved in, and which ones are passing you by because you simply don’t see or notice them. Understanding this, what game you are playing, who you are playing with, is a very important point. Because it largely determines whether you win or lose. This card has another meaning, look at the card.
There are five people there and everyone does something different. One brags about a stick, this is what kind of stick I have, the second thinks: now I’ll hit someone in the head with a stick and I’ll have two sticks, the third put it on his shoulder, carries it and thinks: what a heavy stick I have, but how good and It's great that I still have it. Here, all these people who surround you: who are they, what are they, why are they doing this, why are they involving you, what are they telling you?
So they involve you in their games, are you interested in them, do you want to participate in them, who do you want to participate in? A very, very interesting and challenging map.
Struggle. Competition
Very often this card is simply reduced to struggle and competition. But wrestling is just a special case of the game. It has rules: don’t hit someone who is lying down, don’t bite, and some other rules. But besides the rules there is a goal. What is my goal in this competition, what is victory? So I want to win, but what does it mean to win in this situation? So that I, for example, sleep with a girl or marry her, or so that she cannot “spoil” me?
For example, me and a girl: we have completely different ideas about victory, about losing, about how this fight should go, about the rules of this fight. The rules of fighting for the Five of Staves are a very, very important element.
Rules of the game
The better a person knows the rules, the more chances he has to win. We all know this proverb - “Ignorance of the laws is no excuse.” And knowledge of the laws frees you from responsibility. It should be remembered that this is not always pleasant, but it is true that in many games the most important condition for victory is the ability to competently break, circumvent or change the rules.
For example, tax optimization: everyone pays taxes, but I took mine and optimized it. I don’t pay taxes at all; the state itself already owes me money. Here is a typical example when a person knows the rules and knows how to use them and wins, and everyone else says: this is not fair. Well, what is dishonest here if I used these rules. This is such a complex, interesting map.
Council of the Five of Wands
To achieve goals you need willpower and determination of thoughts. Take the challenge and prove yourself. Argue, defend your interests, fight, turn your rivals into allies, try your hand at new endeavors, don’t be afraid of mistakes, move on.
Life gives you a chance to take part in a unique training of strength, will, knowledge and talents, and gives you the opportunity to show your versatility from all sides. To achieve your goals and overcome difficulties, apply your existing life experience. Don't be afraid of competitors and rivalry, it will only benefit you.

Warning
The Five of Staves warns that now is a time of stress and the need to gather all your resources together. Alarming news or unpleasant events are about to burst into life. Even the Universe seems to be working against you. The time has come to prepare properly for struggle and confrontation. It is important to be completely sure that people from your inner circle fully share your true intentions.
Constant exposure to stress can lead to physical and mental exhaustion.
The meaning of a reversed card
Dishonesty on the part of competitors. The questioner may receive a stab in the back from those from whom he does not expect. Litigation, problems with the law, intrigue, disputes. Oppression and displacement from the “grain place”. Persecution, persecution, quarrels.

Someone else's quarrel or conflict can serve as a lesson. Solving the conflict in a roundabout way. An opponent can “buy a victory”, give a bribe, or bypass.
Planned business will end in failure. Postponement of competitions and events. Injustice, criticism, stupidity in actions and thoughts, lack of cooperation. The partners' points of view do not coincide. Fraud, failure at competitions, performance. Involvement in unfavorable activities against one's own desire.
Family and home
