Six of Wands

Dwarf mistletoes disperse by hydrostatic explosion: ripening fruit builds internal pressure and fires its single sticky seed like a small green bullet, sometimes several meters, to glue itself to a neighboring pine's needles. Where it lands, it sinks a sinker system into the branch and can warp the host into dense "witches' brooms." It is a true stem parasite — it takes food, not just lodging.

The Six is the passage pip, and nobody in this suit travels like the dwarf mistletoe: one green gunshot and the journey between pines is over before it began. Most crossings in your life feel like migrations — slow, expensive, bureaucratic. This card is the other kind: the phone call that changes everything, the door that opens the day you knock, the job offer from the city you only visited once.

The opportunity is momentum you didn't have to build — a pressure that accumulated quietly and is now available as pure flight. Ride it. The risk is that a ballistic seed cannot steer: passage this fast is commitment. Wherever you stick, you sink in. And your arrival, however graceful it feels from inside the fruit, may read from the receiving branch as the beginning of a witches' broom — a beautiful, dense distortion someone else will have to carry.
