The Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith-Tarot, Six of Wands
The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot and Prophet Tarot-6 of Wands, depict a laurel wreathed horseman riding victoriously through an adoring crowd. He is bearing one of the fertile-leafy staff, while the crowd of footman bears the other Five all in celebration of his victorious exploits. Therefore, the primary meaning of this card is Victory Triumphant. However, it is also great news, such as it might be carried in state by the King's courtier. Hence, it is expectation crowned with desire and/or the crown of hope.
The Connolly Tarot- 6 of Wands
The Connolly Tarot 6 of Wands is all about having faith in the fact that you can win. The fact that this man is victorious is shown in the laurel leaf head gear and his possession of the victory wreath on the staff he has plucked out of the five others. The blood-red sun has also been seen as a signifier of doom or impending danger throughout religious texts, such as The Bible and The Quran. Therefore, this card warns against over-confidence and pride.
The 6 of Wands also depicts this leader as extremely loyal and caring for subordinates, who are dealt with thoughtful concern for their opinions and who return these feelings with affection and trust. However, there is also self-absorbed leadership, creating a leader who is a less than ideal administrator who lies to subordinates. S/he may be unconcerned with the feelings or opinions of others, insensitive and only concerned with the job at hand. Then there is the worst-case scenario, where the Administrator is violently aggressive.
The 6th Sephiroth, represents the 6th Sephiroth- the Soul and/or Buddha psyche that our personalities are supposed to be the reflection of. However, indoctrination and dogma, plus environmental influences, and a "mind virus", have constructed a "false ego" that makes us slaves to the words of those who control definition. Therefore, this card usually expresses the Victory of our Soul over the false identity of a man-made persona, false ego, and/or victory over the mask of words that covers our identity. Here then is a victorious Self-Knowing.
So, when the SIX/6 OF WANDS card is thrown during a reading, and depending on its position, it can mean.
- Gain and success in 5 weeks or 5 months, depending on the position of the Card.
- We have here, victory after strife caused by industriousness, energy expression, love and pleasure gained by labor.
- There is also a suggestion of Victory gained by avoiding strife through actions of sociability and carefulness.
The Six/6 of Wands, if reversed it will then suggest the errors of:
- Insolence, pride in riches, and vain glory.
- Also, ill dignity depends on the conflict depicted in the surrounding cards.
- Presumption.
- Excess of emotion.
- Personality cult.
