THE SIX OF WANDS
“The Lord of Victory”
Jupiter in Leo
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
Under a cloudless blue sky, a victorious individual accompanied by a cheering crowd of supporters rides in triumph before all. A laurel crown adorns his head and a laurel wreath is affixed atop the wand he carries symbolizing that the crown of his hopes has been attained and that his achievements are recognized and acknowledged by all. His pure white horse, symbolically representing his natural and instinctive self, engages the viewer with his sidelong stare reminding us not to neglect the important role he has played in attaining this triumph as an equal partner with the determined will of the rider. The parade cloak draped over its body is dyed green, the traditional color of hope. Persistence through strife brings both victory and reward to those who are loyal to their inner vision.
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Jupiter is the beneficial astrological energy of expansion and growth and is here acting in Leo, the political domain of the accomplished personality. The expansive Jupiter energy is expressive of the highest good and supports a powerful inner vision coupled with a focused will which, in the Six of Wands, unite with disciplined outer strength and purpose to achieve victory and establish peace, harmony, balance and stability.
