All that hard work is paying off, isn't it? 6 of Wands is the card of victory, success, being on top, being recognized for your hard efforts and celebrating your accomplishments. Too often we do not celebrate our accomplishments;  eager to check the next thing off of our list or to solve the next problem at hand we forget to bask in the glow of winning. Take the compliment graciously, enjoy the moment of accomplishment; allow your tribe to sing your praises with grace and pride in all that you have done, you deserve it!

For women accepting compliments, basking in the glow of success is a difficult thing. We are socialized to be more humble, to downplay our successes, to seek group harmony over getting well-deserved praise.
