Six of Wands: meaning

Upright meaning

This card points to a time when your efforts get noticed and support comes your way. It may be a moment to feel proud of what you've done. Don't forget to thank the people who helped you get there.

In love

Confidence may be the thing that catches someone's attention now. A bold invite or confession could meet a warmer response than you expect.

In work and daily life

Your results may get noticed, and you could be handed a leading role. Sharing the win with your team tends to lift everyone's spirits.

Reversed meaning

You may find yourself preoccupied with how you're being judged, or frustrated that recognition isn't coming. Try measuring yourself by whether you're satisfied with your own effort rather than by other people's eyes.

In love

You might worry too much about how you come across. Try valuing how comfortable the two of you are together over what anyone else thinks.

In work and daily life

Progress may be hard to see, which can make you antsy. Steady work often gets recognized later — keeping a record of what you've done can be reassuring.

Symbols on the card

Often shown as a figure on horseback wearing a laurel wreath, greeted by a crowd. The laurel stands for victory and honor, and the people raising wands stand for support from your circle. It's read as a victory parade — the moment effort is rewarded.
