Sorry for the late post. Thanks for everyone who's posted thus far.
Well, if you look at the image on the RWS card, you see one person riding into town in victorious glory and a throng of people below him hailing him and cheering him on (sort of worshipping the ground he walks on.) You simply have to determine which represents you and which represents him. I suspect you know which is which.
It could go either way. We both have much respect and admiration for each other but I don't believe it's in a worshipping (YOU ARE GOD!) kind of way. We're well aware that neither one is perfect.
I don't see 6 of Wands as complacency or smugness at all.
I was off on that interpretation, I think.
Repeatedly showing up in relationship readings would tell me that there is at least one party in this relationship that feels s/he has it made, that he's landed the girl (or she's landed the guy.) Perhaps it did not come easy at first. He/she might have been hoping for something to happen between the them for a while, and finally things clicked. Maybe one of them used to think of the other as "out of his/her league" and happily discovered that was not the case.
Just to make clear: this is a platonic relationship at this juncture although we've known each other a while. There was a point in which, due to circumstances, we were going to go our seperate ways permenently. Things turned out differently and we now see each other again. So maybe he's happy that we've *reunited* in a sense. Maybe he thinks there's still a chance for us. idk.
It could represent a conquest or sexual advance being accepted or well-received.
Not in this case. I don't entirely trust him. It may be that he views me as a sexual conquest. *He* *thinks* it would be well received. Perception and reality, however, are often different.
Yes! Recently there was another thread on here with someone asking if the 6 of Wands could represent a kiss and Thirteen was like 'no it's more than a kiss -- it's going all the way!'
Might be worth searching for that thread and taking a look...
Yeah, well. The attraction between us is *intense* and off the charts. He has said so himself. The potential is there. I get a lot of Wands in readings with him: the Ace, the Knight, the King, the Eight. But I'm not sure why 6 of Wands (as opposed to any other Wand) would mean taking it there? Only in the sense of sexual conquest and I'm too old and wise to go there...
I get a bit confused with the Wands. Their strong association with sex and sensuality seem to give them a single dimensionality. It seems whenever I read an interpretation of a Wand, I hear "in other words, the guy is just trying to get down your pants." How does a reader or querent reconcile the fact that relationships of love often include sex and visa versa? Cups mean love? And wands mean one night stands or short flights of fancy?
anyway, in my experience, six/wands in a relationship spread (depending on the situation) usually means admiration, which could turn into love.
I think admiration is possible. Although he's not overt with his sentiments, sometimes he has said something like "you're pretty amazing" and "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" referring to some challenges I've gone through and have conquered. It's good to hear this interpretation because if nothing else, I realize, he has respect for me. Love is entirely another issue.
the 6 of wands reports that your effort are victorious and that you get a reward because of your effort - the wand suit suggest also a positive attitude towards the problem and ability to resolve it
There are some issues in the relationship to overcome. Unfortunately, I don't see the "Victory" sign as part of the scenario, at least for a while. Thanks, tho.
