Tarot Card of the Day – July 29, 2009: 6 of Wands

Deck: Universal Waite Tarot

Element: Fire
Associations: Passions; urge; creativity; growth

The 6 of Wands depicts a scene of victory. From the laurel wreath on the man’s head–to the other laurel leaf that hangs across the wand he carries–and lastly the budding laurel that appears on all of the wands. Laurel also appears on the other wands cards as well, although this is the first time I associated it with symbolism. The red ribbon on the wreath around the wand seems is blowing in the wind, symbolizing flowing passion or action. Sitting gallantly on top of his white horse who is draped in a green cape. The green in this card makes me think of nature and growth. This success is newfound and the celebration has just begun. People are displaying support of this win and they are holding their wands are straight up in the air.

Having drawn this card, it further clarifies the course of events in my life that have taken place over the past few days. There are others who are pleased about the positive outcome and they want want to display their happiness. To be the recipient of their positive affirmation builds further confidence.

Of course, this card can be applied to any other event. It feels nice to be praised and we should also offer it to others since balance always prevails.  Reap in the rewards now, but always remain cognisant of the situations at hand so that the state of victory and positivity remains. If it doesn’t, we can work on whatever needs to be fixed so that we can return to the top, or a similar position at the very least.
