Read on as we examine the Six of Wands reversed in various contexts.

6 of Wands Reversed Love and Relationships

When asking about your love life as a single person, the Six of Wands reversed suggests a blow to your confidence in your dating life. There may have been a rejection that has left you hesitant to put yourself out there, or you’re comparing yourself to the romantic success of others. Everyone gets rejected sometimes, and one setback doesn’t define you, and it definitely doesn’t make you unworthy of love.

When asking about a new or potential relationship, the Six of Wands reversed signals early hurdles in your relationship. It could be that others are not so approving of your partner, or the “honeymoon phase” doesn’t last as long as anticipated. You’re being gently reminded to not let other’s opinions or minor conflicts derail something that looks promising for you. If this person makes you happy, then it doesn’t matter what others say.

Getting the Six of Wands reversed when asking about your current relationship suggests a lack of mutual admiration in each other. You may be feeling undervalued and diminished by your partner, or perhaps external pressures like work and family are dimming the light in your connection. You’re being asked to reignite the spark in your relationship by celebrating each other.

When asking about your ex partner, the Six of Wands reversed hints at ego battles. One or both of you may be trying to “win” the breakup and appear the most unbothered by what went down. This card is a gentle reminder if this describes you to release the need for validation so your worth isn’t tied to your ex’s opinion. Breakups are hard, and it’s okay to grieve normally.

When asking about your crush, the Six of Wands reversed suggests enthusiasm for this person may be fading. Perhaps they’re not responding to you as much as you’d hoped, or you’re coming to realize the fantasy of this person doesn’t match the reality. In any case, you’re being asked to redirect your energy toward someone who will reciprocate the amount of interest you give them.

When asking about your child, the Six of Wands reversed suggests they may be struggling with self-confidence. Perhaps they didn’t perform as well in a competition as they’d have liked, or they feel overshadowed or diminished by siblings. A gentle reminder: try to reassure your child that setbacks are normal and a part of growth. We should learn from setbacks, integrate them, and try again moving forward.

When asking about a current friendship, the Six of Wands reversed hints at possible rivalry, jealousy or competition. It may be the case that your friend downplays your achievements (maybe even subtly) or you feel overlooked when sharing with this person. You’re being asked to seek out friends who uplift you, not want to cut you down to size because of their own insecurities. Real friends will celebrate your wins.

When asking about a former friend, the Six of Wands reversed suggests the friendship may have ended due to competition, envy, rivalry, or other toxic dynamics. If reconciliation were to ever happen, you’re being asked to make sure person growth has happened and that the old dynamics don’t repeat themselves. You don’t want to see the same ending again with this person.

6 of Wands Reversed Money and Career

When asking about a possible career or new job, the Six of Wands reversed is a warning of possible initial roadblocks. The industry may be more competitive than you’d first expected, and a job may not be forthcoming right away. Or, you may be in self-doubt mode where you doubt your qualifications and abilities. Persistence, not perfection, is what will lead you to a career breakthrough.

When asking about your current job or career, the Six of Wands reversed indicates missed recognition. A promotion you were vying for may have gone to someone else, or you feel your hard work is going unnoticed. This card is asking you to advocate for yourself because no one else will advocate on your behalf. Or at least explore opportunities where your efforts are recognized.

When asking about a potential business idea, the Six of Wands reversed hints at a potentially rocky start. The market may not respond to your business idea as expected, or your competitors may have more of a hold on the market than you initially realized. You’re being asked to refine your strategy rather than simply giving up. There’s a market for what you’re offering with a little creativity.

Getting the Six of Wands reversed when asking about your current business points to possible PR challenges. You may have gotten negative reviews lately, or customer complaints seem to be piling up. You’re being asked to address possible issues honestly and transparently. Some negative reviews won’t break you if you work to correct the mistakes and be receptive to feedback going forward.

When asking about your money and finances, the Six of Wands reversed is a warning against overconfidence. You’re being asked to avoid risky investments or overspending because you’re expecting big future wins. Focus on stabilizing your current financial situation before you’re off chasing bigger rewards. Sometimes, slow and steady wins the race.

6 of Wands Reversed Pregnancy

When asking about a possible pregnancy, the Six of Wands reversed symbolizes possible delays or unmet expectations. Maybe you’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while, and it feels like finally getting pregnant is becoming out of reach. You may also be anxious about societal judgments around pregnancy and parenthood. If you’re asking whether you’re currently pregnant, the answer is likely no at this time. You’re being asked to focus on reducing stress and stabilizing your life situation rather than trying to force outcomes.
