Men wear clothes of different colors to symbolize social or class differences, as well as a symbol of the different beliefs and value systems that exist on the planet, or at times, in the same family or group.

The Five Wands is a challenge to us, an invitation to measure our strengths, compete, check: will we have enough strength? This is by no means connected with enmity or a battle not for life, but for death. We are offered to try our hand – maybe, indeed, in some kind of competition, debate, or maybe in some new business for us. We have the strengths for this, and we just have a chance to use them, so there is no reason to fear serious damage or damage, unless with a series of unfavorable circumstances. The chances that this card offers should not be missed, because they give us the opportunity to be convinced of our abilities, to realize them.
