The sweet sensation of success is here, and this is your moment to enjoy it! When the Six of Wands appears in your tarot card reading, it is a lovely sign from the universe announcing that your hard work is paying off. Even though you may not be exactly where you want to be just yet, you are definitely on the right track, and this milestone moment is reflecting that back to you.
And by the way, it’s not just you who is feeling all of this juicy joy of achievement, but others are taking notice as well! Yes, babe, you have wonderfully supportive people around you cheering you on and celebrating everything you have accomplished so far. Isn’t that amazing? The road to success doesn’t need to be a solitary, lonely journey; instead, it can be filled with loved ones, peers, and colleagues who celebrate you. They recognize that your success is something to be honored, and in no way does it take away from theirs. It’s one thing to put in all of the hard work and feel good about it within yourself, but it is quite lovely to receive outside recognition as well. Enjoy it, babe—you deserve it!

Six of Wands Upright Meaning
You did it! You have achieved something major, and this is your moment to shine brightly. This didn’t “just happen” to you; it’s not about luck, or stumbling into something successful accidentally. This was NOT easy! You put in A LOT of hard work, you overcame obstacles, maybe you even struggled a bit. Whatever it was you needed to face in order to get here now, you did it, and that is something that you should be very proud of. Don’t downplay your abilities, your talents, or your success.
Joy should be shared, so shout your accomplishments from the rooftops. It’s good to brag about your achievements! Why hide them? I mean, how else will everyone know how amazing you are?! Don’t hide from the spotlight. Instead, take center stage. Savor the praise and soak up all of this lovely attention. It will boost your self confidence and give you the motivation to continue down the path towards making your dreams come true.
Six of Wands Reversed Meaning
Not all attention is good attention, and sometimes we experience a rather painful fall from grace. This card could signify an epic failure that you cannot hide from because others noticed your mistake (and it wasn’t a little one). It could mean that you’re in the middle of a total social media hellfire, or even a complete PR nightmare. Maybe you did something without thinking, or maybe you took a chance that didn’t unfold as you thought it would. Whatever you did, you got caught, and it was a complete disaster.
Your confidence is shaken right now. You want to throw away your phone and hide from the world, but this is the thing: It won’t be like this forever, I promise. People move on to the next drama, and they do so rather quickly. There’s always new drama to pay attention to, whether it’s on your work Slack, your group chat, or DeuxMoi (how big of a disaster are we talking here?). This too shall pass, but you need to own it, because you did screw up. Use this as a moment to learn and change. That way, you can do better next time.
