Yes/no: Yes
Upright meaning
- victory
- recognition
- self-confidence
- success
- praise
The Six of Wands describes a moment when your efforts become visible and are appreciated. After an exam, a competition, a project or a personal test, you get results and earn the respect of those around you. The card shows a success worth celebrating and a healthy rise in self-confidence. Notice that the rider is not alone: the crowd walks with him, and success usually comes with the support of a community. Acknowledging that support with gratitude adds to the value of the victory. Because fame is fleeting, it is wise to turn pride into simple joy and move on to the next step. With your confidence running high, this is a good time to be visible, give a presentation or put forward a proposal.
Reversed meaning
- arrogance
- lack of appreciation
- delayed victory
- ego
- fear of falling
The reversed Six of Wands describes situations such as delayed success, the feeling of going unappreciated, or victory turning into pride. Your efforts may not have caught anyone's attention, or you may have become too dependent on other people's approval. Sometimes the fear of falling after a success keeps you from enjoying it. Victory only lasts when it is recognized from within; outside applause is usually temporary. Set your own standards and measure your success by them. Celebrating other people's successes wholeheartedly does not diminish the value of your own share; true strength is being able to work with the same care even when there is no applause.
In love and relationships
A success shared with your partner, or a confident and attractive presence, brings pride to the relationship. Jealousy and ego clashes, however, can cast a shadow over this bright atmosphere.
In career and money
A promotion, an award, a successful presentation or visible reward for your efforts is possible. This may be a period when your reputation turns into income.
Celebrate your success and thank those who supported you; keep your eyes on the next goal.
