REVERSED SIX OF WANDS
When reversed, the Six of Wands Tarot card cautions that it may be a bit too early to celebrate. Your sense of optimism may be misguided because it’s based on emotion alone.
It’s important to have a great attitude. When you feel like you’re on top of the world, you are especially vulnerable to people who don’t have your best interest in mind – even more so when you are desperate. Yes, standing in the limelight feels great. But remember that your success can also attract a lot of envy. Some may not be able to bear the thought of you doing better than they and they’ll go to great lengths to find skeletons in your closet. So it’s a good idea to be on guard against those who’d love to see you fall from grace. The 6 of Wands reversed is a positive omen. It can mean that despite delays and challenges, that things you have been hoping for or working on may finally come through. General: In general, the reversed 6 of Wands is about victory. However, you may need to be cautious about whom you place your trust. There may be one person who on the surface looks like a supporter but who may actually be jealous or negative in some way. Trust your instincts about people & don't hesitate to stand up for yourself if necessary.. Work: You should be cautiously optimistic when the 6 of Wands appears reversed. If you are currently employed, although your work is appreciated and valued in general, there may be at least one person who for no good reason is dishonest or working against you. Open conflict is not going to help your case, this is more of a "kill them with kindness" situation. If looking for work, don't believe everything you hear. Love: When this card appears with regard to a committed relationship, you may find yourself feeling fear about the relationship. If so, examine it alone first. If you are looking for love, you may be fearing that you will never find love. This does not have to be the case - unless you make it the case. If you find yourself feeling that way, look at your self-esteem. Believe yourself worthy of being loved; because you are worthy. |
Finances: This is a time to be detailed and methodical with regard to money when the 6 of Wands appears reversed. Pay attention to bank statements, income and outgoings, receipts, and any other financial transaction. You may find the money you didn't know that you had.
Health: The reversed 5 of Wands can indicate that you are trying to deal with physical pain. If you are in pain, these are not signals to ignore or to let your healthcare practitioner ignore, even if there is no clear reason for the pain that has been found yet. Pain affects ones' quality of life if it is not relieved. A dietary change may help. Heat and massage are also often useful.
