Wands 6 · Fire · Jupiter in Leo

Upright — the laurel, victory made public
Jupiter rides through Leo today, and the sky leans toward the lit place — the one where you are seen. Something you built in private has finished ripening; the laurel arrives, and with it the crowd's brief warmth. Take it. False modesty dims no one's suffering. But note the cost: what is witnessed becomes owed. Eyes that praise you today will look for you tomorrow, and the height you stand on is narrower than it appears from below. So carry the victory as Jupiter carries light — generously, outward, naming the hands that steadied yours. Let the horse walk. There is no need to gallop.
Reversed — borrowed glory, the parade without the war
Jupiter swells in Leo today, generous and hungry for applause, and the laurel it offers has not quite been earned — or has been earned by hands other than yours. Notice the parade forming before the battle is fought. There is a gift in this door: you may set down the weight of being seen, step out of the procession, and return to the unwitnessed work where actual strength is made. The cost is plain — no one will clap for that, and the silence may sting. Let credit find its rightful owner. Let your own victory stay small today, and real.
