The Six of Wands

A lot of people look at The Six of Wands card and think that it symbolizes a war march particularly because of how the horse is dressed, which often leads to incorrect interpretation. In fact this could not be further from the truth. The man on the horse symbolizes a figure of leadership. The men follow him wherever he goes because of his strong leadership qualities. The addition of the wreath on top of his staff emphasizes this because this type of adornment stands for strong leadership characteristics and the willingness to lead such a brigade of men. This has a very strong meaning considering it is merely a minor arcana card, and it has a very clear meaning for each of the points on a tarot spread.

If The Six of Wands card were to be drawn for the romantic area of a tarot reading section then this would mean that it is time for you to take a role of leadership in a relationship. In many cases, no matter what the gender of a person, in a relationship, one partner is more submissive while the other is more of a leader. Who makes the dinner reservations, and who chooses all the date locales in the relationship? If you see the six of wands then this probably means that your partner is the one that has been doing it all. The six of wands is there to tell you of your natural leadership qualities. Maybe your partner is more of a submissive type and has only been making the decisions because you've been forcing her too by not acting on your own. Seeing the six of wands lets you know that it is time for you to step up to bat and take a leadership role in the relationship. Not aggressively, but do so whenever your partner chooses to step down.

Seeing the six of wands as the card representative of your money, means that you need to take more control over your money. Many times this will make the most sense if you are either, dependant on another person (like being helped out by your parents or being on welfare benefits) or if you are in a relationship where money is shared equally. If you are in the first camp, then this means that it is time to really start to make your own money and control your own destiny. Do not let the welfare system delegate how much you are worth. If you are in the second camp then this means that you need to start to control spending better. A double income does not mean that you are suddenly rich. If your partner is spending too much, let them know. If you cannot control this aspect, set up a side account and save money on your own for a rainy day.

If this card is a fortune for your health, this means usually that you need to get into shape. This does not mean losing weight necessarily, especially if you are already skinny. However it does mean that you are not truly in control of your own destiny as related to your health. You need to really think about what foods you are putting in your body and what kinds of toxins are in you. Be proactive and take care of yourself.

Finally seeing this as your fortune for your career is fairly obvious. This means that you need to be in a spot of leadership at your work. Wherever or however you do business, take control of as many pertinent elements of that job as you can and do not let others tell you what you can and can't do if you can help it. Be a leader, not a follower.
