What this card is saying about what's behind you

You rode through the crowd with a wreath on your wand and the cheers were real. The Six of Wands in the past points to a chapter of public success — something you did was seen, acknowledged, celebrated. The quiet confidence you carry in certain rooms traces back to that ride.

On the card

A laurelled horseman bears one staff adorned with a laurel crown; footmen with staves are at his side. Wands represent passion and six represents harmony. Together this card represents a victory lap-- you are getting some recognition for the hard work you have put in and it feels good!

Upright
VictoryRecognitionSuccessPublic Acclaim

After a tumultuous period of having to deal with competition and struggle, you are being recognized for your hard work and creativity. You are finally with someone who matches your energy and drive or working in a place that recognizes your accomplishments. Take pride in what you've achieved-- you've come to it honorably.

Reversed

Someone else is getting recognized instead of you-- either for treacherous reasons or it's just not yet your time. Continue putting in effort, don't give up, the truth comes out eventually and your time will come.
