Termites and other forces that disrupt our peaceful living requires fortitude as we defend ourselves for our survival.

The Message of the Day

With the Five of Wands as the tarot card of the day, it brings us the message that introspection is needed regarding our homes and the people with whom we frequently interact. This card possibly indicates a brewing conflict in our households, workplace, or anywhere else. This specific card from the suit of wands tells us that the wands are being used as tools to incite chaos and assist the user in moving forward in their pursuits against other people. In reality, using force as illustrated in the card is not the go-to option when dealing with others who have conflicting principles as you. On the other hand, being on the receiving end of an offensive act would often naturally result in the person standing on defense—thus, usually leading to strife.

When this happens, we can justify ourselves for how we responded to the attack hurled against us. Not only limited to resorting towards violence, other ways of defending ourselves and other subjects of interest is to stand up for ourselves in a proper manner. In this case, it is not only people who are a menace to our living. For instance, we also see the peril pests bring especially with termites. Taking the appropriate measures in dealing with this predicament needs to be analyzed from the purview of science. Oftentimes we need the assistance of a termite specialist or a pest control agency when the task is beyond our knowledge and experience. Although this requires money, it could save us a lot of time and resources rather than if we deal with this alone. 

Formulating an Effective Termite Control Plan

In the Five of Wands, you will notice right away that five men appear to be in opposition to each other because their weapons are raised. Each of the men is holding a single long wooden stick with small leaves sprouting out from it. Since they wore different types of clothing, it makes them stand out from the rest of the group. Apart from that, they are positioned on flat and grassy ground with the blue horizon in the background.

The number five in tarot typically denotes upheaval and adjustments. The quality of the suit of wands is associated with the fire element. Fusing the number five and the characteristics of fire in the Five of Wands usually means an explosive type of disruption is about to or has already occurred. The pressure coming from the struggle and conflict is undoubtedly a challenging phase you need to conquer.  These can take in multiple forms—a dispute against other individuals, fighting against abstract matters and natural events, or you could simply be facing a battle within yourself.

As for today’s message, you are facing neither of these for you are dealing with a pest in the form of an animal. Pests are more than just a nuisance—they are also destructive to one’s peaceful living and source of income. To be specific, termites can bring property damages ranging from minor to severe. Observing concrete anti-termite procedures needs to be well-planned, cost-effective, and eliminating the problem at its root to avoid it from recurring in the future.

Choose Wisely

Just like with any person or a natural disaster that poses a threat to our existence, it is our biological and survival instinct to defend it with all our might. This is especially applicable when it comes to dealing with termites. The longer these insects are roaming freely in your homes, the more destructive and irreversible the costs will be. Detecting the problem as early as possible prevents you from ending with a worst-case scenario.

More than just reacting based on impulse, a clear mind is needed to reach a sound judgment when it comes to multiple circumstances. Once we allow ourselves to be taken over by our emotions, we potentially lose the opportunity to solve the situation simply and amicably. Being practical and time-efficient are crucial elements in devising a successful countermeasure against those pesky termites. Should you follow the do-it-yourself advice from your friends and the articles you found on the internet? Or should you head straight to the experts in controlling and eliminating termites? The ultimate choice will eventually rest on your shoulder. 

The key here is to thoroughly weigh your options according to their respective pros and cons to help you in realizing the best possible solution. If either option is doable for you, you might consider opting for the improvised method when you have a lot of free time to spare. Conversely, trusting the pest exterminators would be a more feasible approach for a busy person. Whichever you may choose, this only shows your determination in preserving your territory and protecting other people living inside it.

Today’s Tip

Asserting dominance and stopping at nothing until you achieve your desired result is only appropriate when pests like termites invade your home. Not only restricted to getting rid of pests but there are also people close to us who may be a parasite unknown to us. They could be purposely hiding in plain sight, leaving the victim to undertake the arduous task of discovering the wolf concealed among the sheep. These kinds of people could be our neighbors, friends, workmates, acquaintances, or even our very own relatives and family with who we are living. 

It takes persistence and a formidable will to constantly standing up for one's self. No person, animal, or calamity should intimidate you from safeguarding your interests and personal well-being. Even if you are not used to embodying the assertive role, this is no excuse to continuously escape from facing this. Remaining to be passive for the sake of avoiding the uncomfortable feeling of confrontations and possible arguments will only worsen the current predicament.

Remember that choosing not to decide is already a decision in itself. Doing so only means your lack of courage to assert yourself is a major blockage that will continue to happen unless you learn from it. The Five of Wands reminds you that conflicts are sometimes inevitable—it is all part of the cycles in nature and you must rise above it for your survival.
