Rider-Waite (Primary): The Process of Experience / Zen Tarot (Auxiliary): Guidance for the Soul
Six of Wands
This card is the “Actual Display” of your current situation. “The Six of Wands” in Rider-Waite represents “Victory” and “Glory.” This is the winner who has emerged from the competition and chaos of the Five of Wands. A man rides a horse, wearing a laurel wreath symbolizing victory and holding a wand tied with a wreath, cheered and supported by the crowd. On a practical level, this indicates you have overcome challenges and received public recognition, promotion, or achieved a proud goal.

Zen Observation: Six of Wands
The crowd cheers, but the horse just walks. The Six of Wands is victory and recognition. Enjoy the success, but do not be defined by it. Praise and blame are two sides of the same coin; both are fleeting. Ride through the applause with the same equanimity as you ride through the silence. True victory is over the self.
