6 of Wands is about being recognized and praised for your work.
I pulled this reversed, which shows that we’re hesitant to be seen, not quite trusting the attention we’re getting. Sometimes that can be when we’re feeling imposter syndrome, and we don’t think we deserve attention. Today it feels different, like we are trying to control the type of attention we receive.
First, there is nothing wrong with getting or wanting attention. But when we start trying to control how people react to us, that usually means we feel something off with our work.
The invitation here is to check in with yourself about the work you’re doing. And be honest so you can make adjustments where needed. Are you doing things that you’re proud of and excited about, and putting your best effort in? That’s the important thing. When your intention and work are lined up, it feels different than when you’re doing something to get a certain kind of attention from certain people. And receiving praise for aligned work is a totally different feeling, too. Be open to surprises in who responds and how, and trust that your work will resonate with the right people.
You deserve to do work that makes you happy first and foremost, and you deserve the sincere attention that will bring you.

Daily Tarot: 6 of Wands
After pulling the 4 and 5 of Wands earlier this week, it feels right to see the 6. This is a realignment of energy after a clash, and it feels like rising up. It's being able to hold the experience of being seen and praised. Because you have come a long way, and you are worthy of recognition! Let this feeling of lightness carry you through the day.
Not every reading needs to be intense - sometimes we just need to come up for air. I think we're all ready for this after some intense work this week.
