Six of Wands
Minor Arcana · Wands · Fire
Upright
- Victory
- Recognition
- Confidence
- Public success
- General
- The triumphant return. A success acknowledged by others, restored confidence, good news to celebrate.
- Love & relationships
- Pride in the relationship, shown openly. A conquest, a declaration joyfully received, an admired couple.
- Career & money
- Promotion, award, contract won, project praised. Recognition arrives and it's deserved.
- Advice
- Accept the congratulations, then stay in the saddle: victory is confirmed over time.
Reversed
- Failure
- Pride
- Lack of recognition
- Fall
- General
- The crown slips. Success that is late or unrecognized, or pride turning into arrogance and unseating the rider.
- Love & relationships
- Feeling invisible or unappreciated. Or one partner takes all the space and the other fades.
- Career & money
- A project failing publicly, a promotion refused, credit given to someone else.
- Advice
- Don't confuse your worth with applause. Return to what truly matters to you.

How the card works
Wands (Fire). Fire is drive: what we desire, what we undertake, what moves us. Wands speak of projects, enthusiasm, rivalry, and courage.
Six. Harmony restored: exchange, transition, what flows again.
