The fives upset the stability of the fours, and the sixes reestablish normality. Roles are redefined, goals assessed, and rewards given, with a focus on collaboration and relationships.

Sometimes it looks like a hero did it all on his own, but really heroes are supported by their communities. The Six of Wands is a communal celebration of an achievement. The conquering wizard is the focus of the victor party, but really the joy infuses and benefits everyone.

This card represents accomplishing something that took great effort and probably a lot of courage. You earned all the praise, so enjoy it. Make sure to accept your accolades with grace, remembering to share the good feelings with everyone else and thank all those whose support made it possible. If you haven’t yet faced the challenge, be encouraged that things seem to be lining up to ensure a positive outcome.
