Channeled guidance:
This human is breaking through, coming out of the darkness and into the light. The six wands are opening out, giving room and space for this runner to move forward. One of their hands is held high in a powerful expression of victory and success. The Six of Wands is so positive. The card almost bursts with energy and achievement in all the best of ways.
The runner appears to be in a race, but there are no other contestants—just themselves, completely committed to the task at hand. And even with all of this success and strength, their smile is gentle and their eyes are kind. In their moment of triumph, they remain humble and gracious. Victory feels best when it is not at the expense of others, when it is just the manifestation of one’s intentions, when it is the product of everything coming into alignment.
So appreciate this moment, dear one. Feel it in your heart. Feel the joy. There is no dishonor in feeling that you have achieved something, feeling proud of yourself. For when your glory does not come at the expense of others, it radiates out and energizes all other beings.
