"Victory isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
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!
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.
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.

Six of Wands for Cancer in Money and Wealth
The Nurturer
Wands are the fire suit, so the Six of Wands sits in Aries. Aries squares Cancer, so the card asks for the move Cancer is least fluent in: spend the energy on one thing today. The friction is the content, not an obstacle to it. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
When reading about money through a Cancer lens, the Six of Wands says that you feel like money is safety and security you must earn by being indispensable, spending on others proves you are not selfish, and your own comfort feels like taking from someone else. This has either made you spend on everyone but yourself and wonder where it went, or helped you understand that your security matters too. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Cancer blind spot in it is being seen as a burden, or as someone whose needs are too much.
In practice that can look like a risk with money, or earning from something you actually like. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
