Five of Spades

Five of Spades combines Five themes of change, disruption, adventure, and catalytic movement with Spades themes of consciousness, work, belief, action, and transformation.

Upbeat, vibrant, and positive attitude, looking at the bright side of life

A gift for hosting and making people feel welcome and comfortable

Blind spots when it comes to people; naively trusting people too easily

Going to extremes; being sometimes overly idealistic and sometimes overly cynical

Getting stuck inside one's own assumptions, thoughts, and expectations

A restless, nagging sense of dissatisfaction with oneself and one's lifestyle

Proactively focused on one's personal growth and personal evolution

An early-adopter, on the leading edge of ideas and trends

Consumed with hopes and fears about being seen and appreciated for one's work

Spinning restlessly and exhaustively like a hamster on a wheel, chasing a perceived shortage of time

A busy and controlling mind that prevents one from actually listening or receiving feedback

Getting ethically criss-crossed trying to take shortcuts to the success one feel entitled to receive

A great team player who works well in partnerships and collaborations

An inability to receive love may block one's ability to experience healthy relationships

An ingrained pattern from an early age of making bitter personal sacrifices for one's family

Emotionally challenging relationships with one's father and the men in one's life

Difficulty setting clear emotional boundaries; giving to others until one bleed

Creating a safe, secure space for one's family and loved ones

A cheery, smiling facade covers up and represses one's real emotional state of being

Surprising outbursts of dramatic emotions can disrupt one's schedule and one's peace of mind

Crash and burn syndrome; enjoying a fast-paced life until suddenly one can't

Emotional intelligence empowers one to make wise decisions for one's wellbeing
