Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, and I got really into the numerology side of things. Today, I decided to dig into the number 5 in tarot. Here’s how it went down:
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck. I just feel like it’s the easiest one to learn with. I shuffled the cards, you know, the usual way, just thinking about the number 5 and what it could mean.
Finding the Fives
Then, I started pulling out all the cards with the number 5 on them. There are four of them, one for each suit:
- Five of Wands: This one shows a bunch of guys kind of fighting or arguing with sticks.
- Five of Cups: A bummed-out dude in a black cloak looking at some spilled cups.
- Five of Swords: This one’s got a kinda shady-looking guy who seems to have won a fight, and others are walking away defeated.
- Five of Pentacles: Two people who look cold and poor walking past a church window.
My First Impressions
Honestly, just looking at these cards, I got a pretty negative vibe. Conflict, loss, defeat, hardship… not exactly a party, right? It definitely seemed like the number 5 was all about challenges and shake-ups.
Digging Deeper
I spent some time just looking at each card, really trying to understand the details. What were the expressions on the people’s faces? What was the background like? I even jotted down some notes in my journal. Here’s a bit of what I came up with:
- Five of Wands: Seemed like maybe the conflict wasn’t all bad, possibly like a competition or just working through disagreements.
- Five of Cups: This one felt super heavy, all about grief and regret. But there were two cups still standing, so maybe a hint of hope?
- Five of Swords: This one felt the ickiest. Like someone winning at the expense of others. Deceit, maybe?
- Five of Pentacles: Straight-up hard times. Feeling left out, struggling. But they’re walking past the church, so maybe they’re missing out on help that’s available?
Putting It Together
After spending all this time with the cards, I started to feel like the number 5 is about disruption, yeah, but it’s also about the growth that comes from that disruption. It’s like, things get shaken up, and it’s tough, but you learn something from it. It’s not always pretty, but it’s necessary.
Final Thoughts
So, that was my deep dive into the number 5 in tarot numerology. I’m still no expert, but I feel like I got a much better handle on what this number represents. I plan on continuing to explore with the cards and try different reading methods.
