Six of Wands
A rider crowned with a laurel wreath parades on a white horse draped in green, his wand bearing a second wreath. A crowd of footmen with raised staves walks alongside, cheering him through.
★ Upright
The Six of Wands is public victory — recognition, promotion, the win made official in front of the people who watched you work for it. Upright, it confirms success and counsels receiving the applause graciously: visibility is part of the reward and part of the responsibility. Enjoy the parade; then remember parades move.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the laurels slip: recognition delayed or given to the wrong rider, success that feels hollow, or confidence dented by a public stumble. It can also warn against needing the crowd's cheer to know your own worth. Do the next good work; the horse finds its parade again.
