Six of Wands

PassageambitionFire

Upright

In the realm of will, work, and creative heat, this is exchange, aid, and passage onward. Meet it with the honesty of fire and it moves quickly.

Reversed

Reversed, the wands current turns inward: help given with strings attached. Name it plainly and the block dissolves.

In Love

An old pattern in relating is surfacing so it can be retired. Name it out loud with the person involved.

In Work & Money

Money and craft align here. Ask for the number you actually want, once, without softening it.

The Advice

Say the withheld sentence. Everything downstream depends on it.

“I trust the timing that is already unfolding.”
