Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Five of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of conflict, tests, trials, and struggle in the area of one’s passions, drive, determination, principles, values, and willpower.

The Five of Wands has then been combined with the Finding Your Way card from Life Navigator Deck, which says, “When the mists come down and you can’t see far ahead – just stay focused on where you want to be, rather than how you’ll get there… and you’ll get there.”

Sometimes there’s just no point in arguing or otherwise butting heads with others. Not fighting doesn’t mean you agree. Instead, it can simply means that fighting over it isn’t worth your time and you’re going to do things your own way without giving others the option to argue.

Although not to be applied universally, as debate is often disguised as a form of brainstorming, when used occasionally as needed, this refusal to engage can circumvent a lot of strife and save time.

The message in today’s Five of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder that controlling every detail isn’t necessary. Sometimes if you just step up and do the thing without all the “what if” thinking and debate, everything will just fall into place.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2026 Challenge

3-Card Spread Prompt for July 21st : About friendship…

Two healthy and one unhealthy thing that you bring to your friendships with others

Five of Wands – You push others to see perspectives outside their own, and think outside the box of their own assumptions and preconceived notions.

The World – You encourage them in their endeavors, supporting them through the process to the very end, then ensuring that they take a moment to appreciate how far they’ve come and all they’ve put into getting there.

Knight of Wands Rx – You have a tendency to go off on your own adventures without inviting them along, or even checking in now and then while you’re distracted elsewhere. This can often cause them to feel left out, neglected, or ignored when in truth you have simply become so distracted by whatever has your focus that for a time everything else has disappeared from your awareness.

Other elements included in this reading:
Pressed Pansy Flowers for Hearing the Heart More Clearly
Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Amethyst Mushroom for Fostering Spiritual Growth
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
