Five of Wands and Temperance tarot card combinations

Cards combination description

Low arcan Five of Wands and high arcan Temperance combination - mediation to solve differences through compromise.

Card 1 - Five of Wands

The Five of Wands depicts five men all holding their own wands and brandishing them up in the air. Like with most fives in the tarot, it is about some kind of disagreement that is facing the querent. This disagreement can either be taken to be as a sign of conflict between the men, or that all of them are simply enjoying the adrenaline rush of this conflict, and that the competition amongst them is of a good natured rivalry, not anger. The relaxed way in which they seem to be holding their wands gives a sense that this argument may be one of show rather than a fierce one.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
Three of Swords (conflicts), to some degree the Seven of Wands (standing your ground) although it tends to reflect scattered energy

Opposing or contradictory cards:
Temperance (compromise)

Card 2 - Temperance

On the Temperance card, there is an angel with wings, whose gender is not immediately obvious, which suggests that there is a balance between the sexes. One foot of the angel is in water, to represent the subconscious, while the other foot is on dry land, a representation of the material world. On her robe, there is a square, which has a triangle inscribed inside, another echo of the tangible earth in union with the holy trinity. She holds two cups in a manner where she can mix the waters, which represent the super and subconscious minds. The water flows between them, suggesting union and infinity. Everything about this card represents balance, the perfect harmony that comes from the union of dualities. Her advice is to test any new waters, before jumping into the deep end.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
The Star (healing) Judgement (renewal) Justice (is a balanced mind as Temperance is balanced emotions) Two of Pentacles (maintaining balance) Two of Cups (harmonious bond) Six of Swords (calm).Cards that represent a  slow moving timeframe, such as The Hermit, etc.

Opposing or contradictory cards:
The Devil (excess) The Tower (sudden change, shocks and surprises) Five of Wands (competition) Knight of Swords (very fast moving pace)
