Minor Arcana

Six of Swords

The Six of Swords shows a figure ferried across calm water toward a distant shore, six swords standing in the boat. The card speaks of transition, moving away from difficulty, and the quiet passage toward steadier ground. The waters ahead are smoother than those behind.

Upright

You are moving away from rougher waters toward something calmer, even if the leaving carries some sorrow. This is a passage that deserves gentleness. Trust that the crossing is taking you somewhere more livable.

Reversed

Reversed, the transition can stall, or you may be carrying old burdens into the new place. There can be resistance to leaving, or a return to what you were trying to move past. Notice what you are still bringing aboard that the journey is asking you to set down.
