Okay so, just tossing in my two cents here.
A question like "what’s my purpose?" is big, and pulling just one card (especially reversed) can feel kinda vague. But the Six of Wands — yeah, it’s usually called the Lord of Victory. And when it’s reversed, it’s easy to think, "Great, so I’m meant to be a failure?" Nah, the deck’s not trying to roast you.
Here’s how I like to come at stuff like this, especially the deep, soul-search-y questions: I look at the astrology tied to the card. The Six of Wands connects to the second decan of Leo, which falls in the 5th house. That’s the zone for creativity, self-expression, stuff that comes from you.
Plus, this card is ruled by Jupiter — big, wise, generous vibes. It’s about expansion, insight, and sometimes abundance, yeah — but more through learning and inner growth than flashing gold coins.
So the reversal here? I wouldn’t see it as bad. When we’re talking self-purpose or spiritual stuff, reversals often point inward. It’s not about losing, it’s about going inward. Like your path might be creative, expressive, meaningful — but not necessarily for fame or applause. You’re not creating for the world’s approval. You’re doing it for you.
Maybe you're a writer, a painter, someone who tinkers with music, or just journals in a way that cracks open your own thoughts. That’s what this feels like to me. A reminder that your purpose might be a quiet, personal journey — not something that makes headlines.
Anyway, just a thought. If it clicks, cool. If not, ignore me and carry on.
