Six of Swords
“A transition to calmer waters, moving away from your troubles.”
Upright
The Six of Swords is a boat gliding quietly from rough water toward a calmer shore. The transition isn't always joyful, but it's necessary to leave a hard period behind.
Reversed
Reversed, the Six of Swords gets stuck between shores — wanting to move forward while something from the past keeps holding on.
In love
Gradually moving away from a difficult phase in a relationship toward calmer ground.
In career
A transition to a new stage or a new place that brings relief.
