Six of Wands — the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot card
Rider–Waite–Smith, 1909

Six of Wands upright meaning

  • victory
  • recognition
  • confidence
  • success

Recognition is coming, and the work you put in is finally being seen. Take the win this week without downplaying it; let people acknowledge you, and let that confidence carry into what's next.

Six of Wands reversed meaning

  • private doubt
  • lack of recognition
  • fall from grace
  • ego

A win looks good from outside but feels empty, or the credit went elsewhere. Don't chase applause to fill that gap; ask whether you're doing this for approval or because it matters to you.
