In divination
Imitation, as, for example, sham fight, but also the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune. In this sense it connects with the battle of life. Hence some attributions say that it is a card of gold, gain, opulence.
Reversed: Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
The library's note
A crowd of youths brandish their staves at one another, and Waite names the scene's register before anything darker: "imitation, as, for example, sham fight," mock battle rather than real injury. He links it nonetheless to "the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune," the suit's vitality turned briefly into rivalry without any single victor yet declared. Coming after the Four's settled repose, the Five reopens contest, a staged one, before the Six resolves it with an actual crowned rider.
