What is on the card
A rider on a white horse wears a laurel wreath and carries a wand tied with another wreath. People walk beside him with their wands raised, as if in a procession.
The laurel is the ancient sign of victory. Riding above the crowd shows success that is seen and celebrated. The white horse is strength and a clear purpose, and the walking figures are the support of others, who share in the triumph.
Six of Wands, upright
