What is the meaning of symbols in Six of Wands Tarot Card?
The Six of Wands is a card of victory, success, glory and “national recognition”, and hence joy, satisfaction. To be absolutely precise, it represents the announcement of success, the declaration of victory.
The Six of Wands Tarot card by Ryder Waite depicts a young man riding a white horse, a symbol of purity and strength. A laurel wreath is tied to his staff with a red ribbon. The rider and his horse are surrounded by people who accompany him with honor. The Six of Wands may seem like a simple card for victory, success, and good news after a fight. However, the rider does not look at other people, he looks towards the distant horizon.

How was the 6 of Wands answer for the question “how does he feel”?
Sexual desire, desire to possess, desire to achieve.
Several times this card came up when asked about a person: “What does he want? What is his goal in relation to me?”
There are thoughts that in this case the 6 of wands is a desire to assert oneself.
But what other options could there be?
I think to rise up. Give praise to the rider (read in reverse). Sixes are mutual in everything. there are those who want to ascend and those who want to be ascendant.
In fact, a person needs admiration,
recognition from the outside? And due to these emotions he will feel joyful,
Fine? Is this some kind of fuel for him?
I think yes. More than once, such a card fell on a young man who, when communicating with me, gained faith in himself, rose in his eyes, because I voiced to him his merits, instilled faith, strength and inspiration in him, and accordingly he fed on this, to assert himself .
