Six of Swords upright
A boat glides slowly towards the far shore, carrying a woman and a child guided by a ferryman. Behind them the water is choppy; ahead, calm can be glimpsed. The Six of Swords speaks of transitions, of leaving a difficult stage behind even if it still weighs on you a little. It may reflect a move, a journey or an inner movement towards a more peaceful place. You don't need to have everything worked out: it's enough to keep rowing towards wherever you breathe more easily.
Six of Swords reversed
Reversed, the crossing becomes more complicated. Perhaps you feel something tying you to the shore you want to leave, or an important change is being delayed. It also speaks of emotional baggage you haven't yet put down. Look at what you are carrying that you no longer need in order to move on.
The suit of Swords
