The meaning of the Six of Wands Tarot card is that it symbolizes success. When you pull the Six of Wands, it predicts victories in all of your endeavors. The Six of Wands predicts recognition for hard work. The effort which you have put in will begin to pay off, and you can bask in this glory. The seeds you have sown previously will sprout for years to come. You can sit back, relax, and bask in your fame.
There is a possibility that you will be looked up to as an authority. As a result of your new-found notoriety, you could find yourself somewhat of a celebrity in your local area or subject of expertise. I would also expect to see the Six of Wands in someone with a largish or growing social media following.

Many people can get recognition in their careers, but they are not rewarded financially; for you, this will not be the case. You can expect to have a financial increase along with a well deserved inflated ego.
There will be times when the Six of Wands appears in a spread as a negative or set back. If this is the case, then it means that you’re letting pride get in the way of your happiness. You cannot admit when you’re wrong and do not like the thought of others knowing more about a subject than you do. Your ego could eventually be your downfall.
There is also the possibility that your arrogance turns people off. You can come across as a showy know-it-all. Being this way is affecting your relationships, so be mindful to keep it in check if this is what the Six of Wands symbolizes for you.
Six of Wands Love Tarot Meaning
I am inclined to not read the Six of Wands well for most types of relationship questions. The card doesn’t mainly symbolize things related to love. If anything, the Six of Wands is an egotistical card that represents one person doing well for themselves. It is not a card of teamwork as a relationship should be, and, therefore, I do not view it positively, no matter what position it is in.
With the above being said, I would read the Six of Wands well in a love Tarot reading, if you are involved in a love affair. The Six of Wands predicts that, ultimately, you will be the person that your partner chooses to be with eventually.

Six of Wands Feelings Tarot Meaning
If you are asking your Tarot cards what someone’s feelings as towards you and a Six of Wands comes up, this is not a good sign. It means that they are the type of person who views others as mere conquests, not long-term partners. There is also the possibility that this individual feels as though they can do better than you.
Six of Wands Future Tarot Meaning
When it appears in an outcome or future position, the Six of Wands promises that you will get what you deserve in the end. If you keep working hard and are persistent in what you’re pursuing, then your efforts will eventually pay off.
If you are involved in a relationship, the Six of Wands in a future or outcome position of a Tarot spread can mean that you will eventually become involved with a different partner who treats you as you feel you deserve to be treated.
However, if you are not yet in a relationship with the person which you’re pursuing, the Six of Wands means that you will eventually be victorious in the capture of this person’s affections. In these cases, the Six of Wands is a very good omen (and double points if you are trying to attract someone who is already attached to another person!)
Six of Wands Business & Career Tarot Meaning
The Six of Wands is a very positive card to receive for career, business matters, and even hobbies. It is pretty obvious that it is a card of recognition for your efforts.
The effort which you have put in will be seen by those around you. You will be regarded as an industry expert in your field. Your achievements will be congratulated publicly by people of importance. You may host an event. Or, you will win an award, receive a medal, or receive some other prize, which cements your reputation.
As stated in the main write up of the Six of Wands, try not to let your increased influence go to your head. Make sure that people see you are a worthy leader who they can look up to instead of an overrated tyrant.
