Six of Wands
Upright
Crossing a neighborhood finish line while a friend holds a selfie stick over the crowd. Tradition reads the Six of Wands as public recognition and a win you earned. Other people notice. That can feel good and a little awkward. The card asks you to take the credit without shrinking it, and to remember the people who cheered. Confidence tends to grow when you let a win count.

Reversed
The camera's up, but you're looking at your shoes. Reversed, the Six of Wands may point to a win that doesn't feel like one, recognition that's slow to come, or worrying so much about how it looks that the enjoyment goes. It can also flag the opposite: leaning on applause. The card asks you to measure the result by your own standard, then decide how much outside praise you need.
