Tell My Tarot
The Six of Wands can seem like a straightforward card of victory, success, and good news after a struggle. However, the rider is not facing the viewer; he is looking off towards a distant horizon. Even though he has succeeded in some endeavor this is not the end of his journey. He knows that he cannot rest on the laurels of past successes; he has to think about ways to overcome future challenges and conflicts.

This card often reminds me that success is very rarely an individual achievement. The effort of many people is required to give a person the means to make an attempt in the first place. When it appears, it can be a reminder to give credit where credit is due and to be a gracious winner.
