co-dependent "energy" loop
The 6/Wands represents a feedback loop of energy. The champion scores a win, people cheer feeling like he's scored that win for them. People cheer and the champion, energized by that cheering, scores a win for them. You can see how that could result in a negative, I think. First off, it becomes a kind of co-dependency. The champion should be able to win whether he gets cheered or not...but he can't. The people should be able to cheer on their champion whether he scores or not...but they can't. They are too reliant on the wins/applause to give them that energy. And that's not good.
Likewise, there is going to come a time when the champion will not score, or the audience won't cheer...and then what happens? In a relationship, it can be very easy to become co-dependent on the other person to cheer you up/energize you when needed...and vice versa. But that means that neither of you feel you can ever give it a rest. You feel always obligated to provide cheer/energy to each other, and never to show unhappiness or a lack of enthusiasm. I think you can see how that would be a pretty strong negative.
