The Six of Wands as a day card
Today there might be a sense of victory and of sharing this victory in public. What have you conquered?
Is it an honest victory or a shallow one? What do the people holding the wands stand for - are they helping or hindering? Are we the person on the horse or are we someone on the side?
Negative or reversed meaning for this card
The negative meaning for the Six of Wands could highlight that there has been an empty victory. That we feel somehow superior to others through our role or the things that we have done. There are several questions we can ask; why is this the case? Are the people below cheering him on, or do they disagree with him? How can the figure on the horse reconnect with the people below?
How this card could present itself in real life
Sometimes when people become higher educated or the get higher jobs within an organisation they get a bit stuck up themselves. My position at work is not incredibly high, but I do have my degree and am working on a Masters. I however think humility is a fantastic thing, just because you have a title or a piece of paper does not make you a better, smatter, nicer person than someone who did not get those opportunities.
I also think that irrespective of your job or your grades at school there is something everyone excels in. Most people you meet could teach you a lot about a particular skill or task they have mastered, or they might just teach you about life in general.
