The Sixes

Six of Wands

Possible keywords: Optimism. Victory. Self-belief.

The Six of Wands is all about achieving our goals and winning. “Victory” hints at overcoming something or someone, though the energy of the sixes suggests

this positive rather than negative. Cleaning the bathroom can feel like a victory when you’ve been putting it off for weeks. We need to recognise the

wins to know we’re heading in the right direction. After the arguments in the Five, the Six of Wands is victorious, encouraging you to keep going. We can and will overcome.

Six of Cups

Possible keywords: Renewal. Innocence. Simple pleasures.

The Six of Cups returns to the innocence and sunnier days of childhood. It’s an invitation to put your stresses back into perspective by letting your

inner child dictate what you do occasionally. Uncomplicate your life and feed the birds. Draw inspiration from your roots,

Six of Swords

Possible keywords: Journey. Transition. Rite of passage

This six is all about taking a journey away from where you are now. It could be a literal journey, indicate, or a journey in your mind, moving on from a situation that’s no longer serving you. This is a time of self-discovery, possibly with the support of others in your life (the ferryman) or even finding inspiration in books and ideologies that help you see the world in a new way. You are moving towards a peaceful conclusion. You are evolving.

Six of Pentacles

Possible keywords: Generosity. Abundance. Nurturance.

Give and take, being open to receiving what we need. This card contains an element of charity and selfless generosity that doesn’t deplete us.

Even the most minor acts of kindness could change the world if everyone made the effort. The goodness we send out into the world gets recycled back to us. The scales are balanced, and there is enough for everyone.
