Six of Wands reversed
Achievement that goes unnoticed, or confidence that has tipped into needing the applause.
Reversal does not flip Six of Wands into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to private win, ego, unrecognised effort.
In love
Pride in a partner, a relationship others admire, or being chosen openly.
In career and money
Promotion, praise, a win with visibility attached. Good card for anything requiring reputation.
Yes or no?
Yes. Drawn in answer to a direct question, this card supports going ahead. Want it read against your actual situation rather than in general? Pull a card here.
