Are you headed for success? Have you started to see the fruits of your labors?

Success and Momentum

If so, they sure are sweet when the Six of Wands shows up in your reading, especially if it comes hand-in-hand with the Chariot. This card clears the way and opens the path to success. If your progress has felt slow in the past, it will accelerate now. Be open to opportunities and strike while the iron is hot.

Caution Against Arrogance

The Six of Wands is a positive card, but you don't want to get cocky under its influence. Some of the wins the Six of Wands brings are easy come, easy go; use the moment, but don't let it go to your head. This can be a difficult proposition, however, because the Six of Wands raises our self-esteem and sometimes overinflates our ego.

Love and Action

The Six of Wands provides assistance in matters of the heart, but don't come on too strong to potential partners. You might encounter someone really hot and successful. In other areas of your life, pick up the pace. Now is the time to claim what's meant for you.
