Six of Wands
The Six Of Wands depicts a victorious procession in which a leader is publicly recognized for their efforts, symbolizing achievement, momentum, and leadership. It blesses promotions, successful launches, announcements, and the confidence to set the pace for others, while advising humility and gratitude to convert applause into lasting influence. Allies, messengers, and students look to you now, so acknowledge them and share credit to keep the community intact. Reversed, the card warns that praise can ring hollow, results may stall, or the craving for approval can foster arrogance, imposter feelings, or public backlash, and it calls for clear communication, repaired trust, and steady action to return to purpose.

Visual description
A richly dressed rider on a white horse moves through a wooden town square. He holds a tall wand crowned with a green wreath and white ribbons, while other riders carry similar staves decorated with garlands. Musicians play string instruments and townsfolk raise their arms toward the procession. Carved Slavic-style buildings stand behind them under a clear sky.
Meaning
The parade carries you like a white horse through the gate: garlands, ribbons, and songs mark that effort has blossomed into recognition. In the spirit of Slavic byliny, a bogatyr—perhaps Ilya Muromets—returns to the wooden city, and the crowd’s eyes confirm leadership, momentum, and progress. This card blesses announcements, promotions, successful launches, and the confidence to set the pace for others. Wear the wreath, yet keep it light; humility and gratitude keep the column together and convert applause into lasting influence. Allies, messengers, and students look to you now, so name them and share the credit. When the card is reversed, the music thins: praise rings hollow, results stall, or the need for approval breeds arrogance, comparison, or imposter feelings. There can be public backlash, mixed messages, or being overlooked after working hard. Return to purpose, repair trust, and let clear communication and steady action bring you back into the square on your own terms.
