Sixes symbolize the union of opposites, finding equilibrium, harmony in the face of constant change. Wands are associated with inspiration, energy, passion, feeling, enterprise, ambition, matters pertaining to the "spark of life", and the element of fire. Reversed this card may indicate that you've reached a sense of stability with your sense of self-worth. You're more sure of who you are and less challenging and critical of yourself. Once again the Tarot gets it right. I do feel that I have reached a point in my life where I am not so critical of myself. I have triumphed over all those horrible inner voices that always undermined my self-esteem. Of course I always tried to blame those voices on others - people who were mean to me or who criticized me over the years. But the reality is that I allowed those voices to have an impact on me. I allowed them to be woven into the tapestry of my life. But now I've unraveled those threads and removed them. There are still some marks left behind but they no longer mar the overall beauty of the work. Looking at these two cards I see two different ways of dealing with the situation. One, as portrayed by the Reflections 6 of Wands, is a dignified, triumphal procession in which I calmly accept the accolades of my supporters. On the Modern Medieval 6 of Wands it seems a much more raucous and rowdy celebration - the rider looks like he is ready to bang his wand into those of his supporters the way a champion high fives his supporters on his way to the competition. There is an energy and an exuberance in this card that is lacking in the Reflections depiction. Both are valid and I think from my perspective I would use the more sedate approach with co-workers and acquaintances to celebrate my triumph but with friends it will be a raucous celebration and party. On an interesting note, this is the first Minor Arcana card I've drawn on a weekend in several weeks. For at least the last 4 weekends I've drawn Major Arcana cards for my card of the day. I think they were presaging this eventual change in my perspective and attitude towards myself. I have overcome my own self-doubts and hypercritical persona. I'm not fully there yet (and I doubt I ever will be) but I feel as though I've burst free from prison or lightened this load I've been carrying for years and years. I was so used to its weight that I didn't even realize the damage it was causing. Now it's time to begin the long work to rebuild what was damaged. I'll get there in time. I'm sure this will prove to be a life's work for me. But I'm so looking forward to the journey. And that gives me a lot of joy and hope for the future.
