Upright 6 of Wands as Feelings
How They Feel About You
They feel positive and confident about the relationship. Being with you feels like a real success to them, an achievement they are proud of. Their feelings are validated rather than uncertain, and they feel joy in them. They are eager to share that joy and celebrate the connection with you, rather than keep it quiet.
In a New Relationship
New love here starts with early success and mutual admiration. Their charm and efforts are being recognized and appreciated, and so are yours, which gives them a real boost in confidence. They feel good about where this is going, and those first wins set a strong foundation for the relationship to grow from.
In an Existing Relationship
Both of you feel acknowledged and appreciated for what you bring to the relationship. It is a phase of accomplishment and harmony, where efforts in love are paying off. They want to celebrate that success together with you and build on the positive momentum, rather than take it for granted.
An Ex
An ex feels a sense of closure, or a positive resolution to issues from the past. They may feel victorious in having overcome the challenges of the relationship, or grateful for the valuable lessons it taught them. The past sits well with them now, rather than weighing on them.
Reversed 6 of Wands as Feelings
How They Feel About You
They have doubts about the relationship and feel they are falling short in it. They may feel unrecognized or undervalued, as if their efforts in love go unnoticed or unappreciated. That dents their confidence about their place with you and can leave them feeling disillusioned about where things stand.
In a New Relationship
Early on, they may feel disappointed, or that they are not being acknowledged. Their expectations, or the way they approach love, may need adjusting. Mutual recognition and appreciation matter now, so that neither of you ends up feeling disillusioned before the relationship has had a chance to grow.
In an Existing Relationship
One or both of you feel unappreciated or overlooked, as if your efforts go unnoticed. The relationship needs more acknowledgment and validation of each other’s efforts and contributions. Showing appreciation for each other helps rebuild the confidence that has slipped, so that both of you feel seen again.
An Ex
An ex feels regret, or a sense that the relationship left them unfulfilled. They are not looking back on it as a success. What they need is to learn from the experience and find closure, or a sense of personal accomplishment, despite the setbacks they went through together with you.
