A man wearing a wreath and mounted on a caparisoned horse rides through a crowd as though he is being cheered. He holds a Wand with another wreath on it. It is an image of victory, triumph, and public acclaim. He rides above the crowd.
Unlike the Chariot, this man seems to want the attention and fame. The Chariot didn’t need a crowd; the Six of Wands does. He rides above the others, takes an elevated position. This is a proud man, possibly an arrogant one. His fame may be wide, but he might also be riding for a fall. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall as the saying goes.
It may also be that he is simply accepting credit where credit is due, having done something difficult and important. Accepting reasonable honors is not necessarily arrogance.
