Even correcting a mistyped posting is a thread? (sorry for my previous posting full of all sorts of typo errors)

I thought this was a new thread, even though I could have sworn that we had done the Fives..... I have just seen that I had already responded to this thread .....
Well, never mind. I have done it again like a good pupil, I am now the teacher's pet - .....  yipppeee!

5 of Swords
On this card we see a man that doesn’t take no for an answer. A person filled with pride. Someone who doesn’t want to lose. And so he fights worthless battles against his better judgements against his so called opponents. He wins. But in the end he doesn’t feel good at all about himself.

5 of Wands
On this card we see a group of people who are working on the same purpose. However because they somehow can’t understand each others language they are now doing their own thing. Their main purpose now turns into a competition: Who does it the best way? Who is finished first?

5 of Pentacles
This card shows the love of a mother. Here we see a mother and her sick child having a hard time in the cold harsh weather. The son is in desperate need of medical attention and there is no money. So the mother is in a desperate state. So desperate that she is selling her body so that she can buy some food for both her and her son. And hopefully the money is enough to pay for the medical expenses.  

5 of Cups
Here we see a man that has lost his dreams and hopes for the future. He has given everything to opening a large company but his dreams went up in smoke when his house got burned with all his money and possessions leaving him with no money. And yet he refuses to look at the bright side and be grateful that he himself wasn’t burned!!

5 Swords - The man holding the swords is greedy, he has more than he can handle, the fight is unfair as the other 2 have no weapons.  He seems very smug with himself for having won an unfair fight, he doesnt care.  There doesnt seem to be any blood shed, has he bullied the other 2 with his power and unfair advantages.  The other 2 now turn their backs on him as if to forget and leave him behind, but he doesnt seem to see that his victory has won him nothing but his own solitude.

5 Wands - There is a very unorganized battle or event going on.  Noone seems to notice the other ones intents.  One even appears to be raising his staff in victory when the battle is still going on.  there seems to be a need for someone to take leadership and guide the men to victory or resolution, or they need to focus on whats going on around them.

5 Pentacles - There are 2 people in need of help or aid, they are walking by what appears to be a church but dont seem to notice there is help right beside them.

5 Cups - This man stands alone sad and lonely, while 3 cups have spilled at his feet and 2 cups behind him stand in place.  His bounty in the 3 of cups spilled has been lost, and he mourns the loss, but the 2 of cups is still standing behind him, maybe he cannot see them now, but he will heal and have love again.

The five of pentacles is a picture of two frail women that have been left out in the cold. They seem to be looking for answers in all the wrong places because they are outside of a church but they continue to walk by it as if they cannot see that help is right there - I feel that it represents deep depression or at least someone feeling sorry for themselves.


The five of swords is picture of a "soldier" gathering up his opponents weapons in a clear but unfair victory. I feel that this represents a bully or a person who does not play by the rules and has to win at all costs. I feel that this person is a person in need of help but doesn't know how to ask for it


The five of Cups is a sad person turning away from all that he has - He is looking only at what has been lost and not what is right in front of him - His house is still standing although it looks empty and two cups remain full but his only focus is on the three fallen cups


The five of rods shows five individiuals working separately (no team work) If they worked together then they could accomplish so much but working apart brings frustration and obstacles - It could mean fighting a losing battle or overcoming obstacles one by one

::gasp::   Storyline?  I'm definitely not the writer type, for the sake of the lesson, I'll throw down my best shot.


These don't match exactly with the pictures on the cards, but they do go along with the spirit of what the card is showing:

5 of Cups - I can't believe that we said and did those things to each other.  There is still love between us, but the trust has been destroyed.  Our faith and hope?  Huh!  Well, that's been destroyed too.  Look, I'm tired and so are you, so I think it best that we just count our losses and move forward.

5 of Pentacles - You lost the money I gave you to hold?  That was for the mortgage payment which is overdue, not to mention groceries for the next two weeks!

5 of Wands - This is ridiculous!  The kids were screaming and punching each other this morning and I was so frustrated that I locked the keys in the car.  I really thought that I could find some peace at the office, but the assistants are now arguing over who has to be the one to go lower herself and make copies.  Can this day possibly get any more annoying?

5 of Swords - (When I looked at this card, it immediately brought to mind an exchange that I had with a former boss, an attorney) "Ethics?  I'm not concerned with ethics.  Do you think that someone names 'Ethics' pays the bills? The client will never know unless you tell them and that won't happen if you are hoping to keep your job with the firm.  Now hurry up and get your work done!  Oh, and be sure that you think of something to bill for Mr. A for because I really can't afford to keep giving people their retainer fees back."
