Six of Wands

Known also as the Lord of Victory and aligned with Jupiter in Leo, the Six of Wands brings success, clarity and the possibility of a breakthrough in an area where you have been previously struggling. Jupiter brings luck, expansion, and growth, Six of Wandswhile Leo adds confidence, creativity and self-worth. There is great harmony at play with this card, and it comes after you have been striving and struggling and trying for so long you have considered throwing in the towel - giving up. But the Six of Wands says Wait! you will succeed if you can only continue for a little while. The work you have put in before now and the anguish you have suffered have not been for naught. Think of a seed that is laying dormant under the soil in the winter, no sign of life or hope, and yet eventually, with the loving caress of nature, the sun, rain and warmth, it lifts it's head above the ground and the impulse to thrive begins.  And if you had looked at that bare patch and thought after all the care, watering, weeding, intentions that you had bestowed on it were for nothing because you could not see any reward for your effort, and so turned your back and left a moment before it showed itself, that is what you are going through now. Don't turn your back, but cultivate patience and tenacity. This card also warns against trying to gain advantage or force an outcome by unfair means - success will only come when it is earned and which benefits all involved. You will be recognised for your efforts by those who matter and you will feel all the more satisfaction for your success because of it. You will soon receive good news. It could be a promotion, successful negotiations, contracts or property dealings, also the acknowledgement of some creative work of yours. So have courage in the face of adversity, and look forward to your good coming to you. 'Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.' - Socrates Image from "Superpunch's Endless Deck" © katetak.deviantart.com
