Reverse
Failure / lack of support / egotism / lack of achievement / disadvantage
The Six of Wands signifies failure, disadvantage, endurance, and confidence. This card represents someone full of themselves, arrogant, and hungry for fame. Alternatively, it might represent someone who doesn’t have enough self-confidence and faith in themselves. You may feel like you aren’t good enough or that you don’t deserve recognition in the first place. You need to regain your confidence and your self-worth in order to achieve your goals. It could also mean that you have completed all your achievements but don’t want any praise and rewards. Keeping it to yourself and not letting the public know is what feels best to you in this situation.
This is a moment to retreat from battle. What felt like an easy win has more challenges than you initially thought it would. You may feel anxiety over certain decisions you have to make, but the Six of Wands signifies that now is the time to get it over with.
