The Meaning of the Six of Wands in the Tarot Card System

Six of Wands (Six)

General Meaning

Triumph, victory, important and joyful news. A winner, a leader, public respect and recognition. Success in business and dealings, the fulfillment of your ambitions. The completion of a complicated project, victory, the overcoming of difficult obstacles. A chance to become famous and receive well-earned universal recognition.

The card describes a self-assured person who mobilizes in crisis situations, makes quick decisions, and acts responsibly and effectively. A person who will not give up halfway and sees everything they start through to the end. The card can also point to the likelihood of good news in the near future. You may be lucky enough to meet someone who will help you deal with a problem.

This card is considered the card of triumph and victory. You will finally receive the reward for your work. A career promotion may await you. If you have a thesis defense or a project presentation ahead of you, everything will go brilliantly and you will receive the highest marks.

Your goal will be achieved; you will complete a long-running project. On the other hand, this card can promise an upcoming journey. All your problems will be resolved. The contract you drafted will be signed on the terms most favorable to you. You may receive a very important decision, delivered to you by a special messenger.

Meaning in Situations

Triumph, a well-deserved victory, a high position earned with honor (through your own work). A public appearance, public recognition, returning in victory. Sometimes speaks of long-awaited good news. A defended position, your own place in the sun.

Work

Highlights the theme of leadership. The emergence of a leader who takes responsibility. The presence of an important figure you can turn to (a person who makes decisions). The ideal work scenario: you land in your rightful place, people respect you, and you feel great yourself. A stable position, a stable income. Success, receiving an award. A public appearance.

Health

Excellent health, self-confidence.

Relationships

A victory in love, the fulfillment of desire. Success and recognition in the eyes of your beloved. May speak of victory over a rival. In questions of sex: being on top. In this relationship, it is not love that dominates but self-affirmation (all is very well; together with the 5th, 6th, or 7th Major Arcana — marriage).

Personality Type

An awareness of one's own existence, one's path, one's worth. Not inflated self-regard, but valuing oneself according to one's merits. Celebratory, proud of himself, deservedly honored.

Advice and Warning

The advice depends on the context: be a leader, take charge, take responsibility. Claim your place; if you believe you have a right to it, then take it. Show your achievements, carry matters through to victory. Warns against getting stuck on current achievements — every victory must be fought for.

Yes or No

"Yes." The successful result of hard work. A time of prizes, gifts, and conquests.

Reversed Meaning

It is possible that your well-earned recognition is slowly slipping away from you, and you may never receive the money. Unfortunately, this time you have lost. You did not accept the challenge, deciding you lacked the qualities of a winner. The deal you nurtured for so long has fallen through. Perhaps you were misunderstood, or you did not get enough of a chance to speak your mind. If you are going to a job interview, you will most likely be refused, or the decision will keep you waiting. If the situation concerns a relationship, then perhaps such a relationship is not something you need at all. Your partner may be neglectful of you, leaving you feeling humiliated. Sometimes this card points to infidelity in marriage, but most often it indicates that one partner places their own interests and passions above those of the other.

Loss, loss of standing; wariness within the situation (those beside you are no longer on your team and may let you down, betray you, or undermine you at any moment). Victory is postponed, success incomplete. Sometimes defeat. Suffering a loss. Success will go to someone else. Important news is delayed. Success turned into defeat.

Reversed Meaning: Work

You are losing your position or your influence. It does not speak of dismissal, but those around you are beginning to sense your incompetence. A leader, an authority figure is missing — and a good position never stays empty for long. An honorable second place, a lost cup, lost races, competitions, and so on.

Reversed Meaning: Health

A certain loss of strength, but not illness. Weakened immunity. Still, everything remains within normal limits. Problems with making a full recovery.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Warns of possible infidelity. Suffering a defeat (a good man, but no eagle). Incomplete happiness.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Playing second fiddle: great vanity and snobbery make it painful not to play the leading role. A respectable but unsuccessful person, always second.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Advises being more modest — yield this matter to someone else. Content yourself with little. Lower your self-regard. An unwillingness to move forward, incomplete success.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

A damaged reputation. Failure, a rival's victory. Victory may be near, but it has not yet been achieved.
