Weekly Guidance from The Six of Wands
Feeling behind? Stuck? Or like you’re not as far along in life as you want to be or should be? The Six of Wands is here to shift your perspective, reminding you that no matter what’s gone down, how you feel, or how you see yourself—you are still a success story.
When we’re chasing dreams and striving toward goals, it’s easy to overlook the progress we’re making in real time. We get so caught up in the destination that we forget to acknowledge how far we’ve already come. But the Six of Wands signals a moment of recognition—a time for satisfaction and immense pride in what you've achieved. It’s a message that says, “Hey, you should be proud of yourself.”
For many of us, embracing that pride isn’t always easy. I know that feeling well—the reluctance to pause and truly appreciate the milestones, big and small, along the path of growth and expansion. But this week, it’s time to shift that mindset. Stop and admire the flowers you’ve so diligently planted. Celebrate the little wins. Honor your progress.
Even as you continue striving for more, remember to check in with yourself. Instead of focusing on the loose ends or the goals that still lie in wait, take stock of the journey so far. The Six of Wands wants you to know: You are doing amazing and please, be kinder to yourself.
You’ve always had what it takes to reach your destination. You have the strength, the wit, and—most importantly—the grit to keep climbing. Every twist, turn, and setback has shaped you, carried you forward, and prepared you for what’s next. So this week, set aside a moment to reflect, to appreciate, and to remind yourself why you’ve made it this far. Because you have—and you will keep going, toward your brightest future.
