Six of Wands

Upright Meaning
VictoryPublic recognitionProgressSelf-confidence
A figure rides through a crowd on horseback, a laurel wreath on their wand, another on their head. The crowd raises their wands in salute. This is public victory — not just success, but recognized success. The Six of Wands appears when your efforts are acknowledged, when you've won the competition of the Five, and the world knows it. Enjoy this moment. You earned it. But remember: the crowd that cheers today has its own fickleness.
Reversed Meaning
EgoFall from gracePrivate achievementLack of recognition
Reversed, the Six of Wands warns of ego inflation or the sting of unrecognized effort. You may have achieved something real but received no acknowledgment, or you may be too dependent on external validation. Success that only exists in other people's eyes is fragile. Can you know your own worth without the crowd?
