Six of Swords

Air · thoughts, decisions and conflict

  • Transition
  • Moving on

As a yes or no answer:Yes

Upright

Leaving troubled waters for calmer ones. Change brings relief.

A ferryman rows a woman and child across the water toward a calmer shore. You are leaving troubled times behind. The transition may be quiet and a little sad, but it brings relief. A move, a journey or simply a change of perspective will help you heal. Calmer days lie ahead.

Reversed

Stuck in transition or unfinished business.

Reversed, the Six of Swords shows a transition that is stuck, or old baggage carried into new waters. You may be unable to leave, or leaving without resolving what hurt you. Settle what you can before you move on, so the past does not follow you.

In love

Upright
Moving past a difficult phase together toward calmer days.
Reversed
Old baggage is following you into the relationship.

In career and money

Moving to a calmer job or situation.
