The Five of Wands…

Is it just me, or has everyone lost their minds, lately?!? Really - whether we are taking cover from the constant barrage of the political and social insanity on the news or just trying to fight our way through the day to day challenges of work, family and life - in all facets of existence, people are acting like lunatics. Everyone has something to say, but no one is willing to listen. EVEN when you are collaborating toward the same goals, people are not willing to work toward that solution - they only want to scream and fight. So, are you feeling this fiery chaos and wondering how you can best handle it all? This Five of Wands from my Mystical Moments Deck puts a new spin on the card and offers us a smart idea. It’s time to strategize. Can’t get ahead? Not being taken seriously? Frustrated at your futile attempts to work with others as “a team”. Focus on a new strategy. You don’t always have to force things and holler until you are heard - you can manipulate! Sounds deceptive, but sometimes life calls for a healthy dose of duplicity. Think about what you really want, how it can influence the greater good and then figure out the best move you can make to maneuver your players without them even knowing. Claim the upper hand. Take control of the game.
