The Six of Wands as How Someone Sees You: A Success, and Someone to Be Proud Of

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Six of Wands as how someone sees you means they see the laurel wreath. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed, and what it leaves out.

If you want the short answer, the Six of Wands as how someone sees you means they see you as successful: admired, confident, someone other people look up to, someone they are proud to be associated with. It is a flattering picture and a public one. Whether they see the person behind the parade is the thing to check.

This is you as the rider with the wreath through the crowd. They see the victory. They may not have seen you tired.

The Six of Wands upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Six of Wands guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with victory, success, public recognition and progress. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Six of Wands as feelings covers what they feel; the Six of Wands as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The general card meanings at Biddy Tarot are a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Six of Wands as a person who sees you as impressive: accomplished, well regarded, a credit to be around. The admiration is real and it is outward-facing.

What I would not read into it is intimacy. The Six of Wands sees how you look in front of a crowd.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm the person would still see you this way if you were less impressive. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Six of Wands reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Six of Wands as how someone sees you means the picture has gone from admired to arrogant, or from successful to fallen: they see you as vain, or as someone whose star has dimmed.

In your own question, ask whether the person's regard rises and falls with your success. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Six of Wands as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Six of Wands suggests they see you as doing well, perhaps with pride, perhaps with a pang. That is admiration, not longing. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Six of Wands as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they are impressed. Let them see you on an ordinary day, and the picture gains a person.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at how the person treats you in public and in private. The difference is the thing to understand.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person admires, and whether they have seen you fail.

For comparison, the Four of Wands as how someone sees you and the Chariot as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Six of Wands card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Six of Wands as a yes or no and the Six of Wands as timing cover the other questions people most often ask of it. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
