Six of Wands Tarot Card Meanings

Here we see a man riding a horse with a wreath on his head and on the staff that he is holding up.  Around him, people are cheering, also holding staffs.

I always get the idea that the man on the horse is a champion or returning warrior.  As we saw in The World card, the laurel wreaths represent victory and success.  He has obviously succeeded in something and is being cheered for his victory by the crowds.  He is enjoying the applause, and I imagine that the crowds are enjoying their returning hero.

This is a celebration for both parties; the champion receives the acclaim and applause that he obviously deserves and he is literally riding high on this wave of appreciation.  The crowds have a hero who fights for them and successfully champions their cause.  Everyone succeeds and benefits from this situation.

These are the Six of Wands tarot card meanings we use in the Free Readings on Aquarian Insight:

The 6 of Wands is also known as the ‘Victory card’. Despite challenges and opposition victory has been secured eliciting praise, recognition and reward. There is a warning here also about not becoming too complacent and relying too heavily on the recognition you now receive; you must continue to show you are worthy of it. However, for now enjoy your victory.
