Six of Wands
The Artwork
Surrendering to the void of the Five brings freedom to explore the next steps.
What This Card Means
There is joy to be found in the effort itself now. Where there was temptation to keep gazing at what you'd created, here the danger is falling in love with the creator. Take in the moment in the mirror, but be sure to pack your bags.
The Archetype
Freedom, finally, to explore what's next — but the card names its own trap plainly: falling in love with the creator instead of staying focused on the creation. Jung's warnings about inflation apply here as much as anywhere; admire the reflection, the card says, then pack your bags and keep moving.
A Practice For Today
Celebrate something you've made today, then move directly on to the next piece of work rather than lingering in the admiration.
