Image Description

He stands on a stone lion – a symbol of kings and emperors, proclaiming his power with a solemn declaration. Even the lion bows its head and closes its jaws before this victor. It lies still and submissive.

Challenge

He leans on his wand like a scepter and raises a laurel wreath. He knows his star has risen and dares anyone to challenge him. He sees many contenders come and go – brave knights and reckless knights. Smart ones who think they can outwit him, famous ones with their followers, and those full of bravado but with little skill. No one has yet been able to surpass him.

Self-Assured

He is confident in his own strength and abilities, proud and arrogant, convinced that no one matches his power. And yet, he reached this position by fighting through the crowds and standing out – possibly the only contender who will ultimately surpass him – still waits for the right moment to strike, to overthrow this overly confident king.

Meaning

The Six of Wands symbolizes victory and triumph. Someone will achieve victory and overcome many obstacles to reach the top. But you must beware of becoming a victim of pride and fatigue, which undeniable victory can bring, and not lose yourself in your own importance.
