  • recognition
  • triumph
  • public praise

Riding the one that galloped its own pace. The Six of Wands is victory with an audience — success recognised, confidence earned, the moment your work gets its crown. Take the applause.

  • unrecognised effort
  • bruised ego
  • false hype

The laurel fit poorly. Success that went unrecognised, applause you don't feel you earned, or hype outpacing substance. Hold the line anyway — quiet work outlives loud medals.
