Card Description

A cloaked figure and a child sit in a boat, being ferried across water. Six swords stand upright in the bow. The water behind the boat is choppy; ahead, it is calm. They carry their burdens with them, but they are moving toward peace.

Six of Swords Reversed

Resistance to moving on, emotional baggage that follows you, or feeling stuck in a painful situation.

Six of Swords in Love

Leaving a painful relationship or moving through a difficult period toward healing. The transition is not easy, but you are heading somewhere better.

Six of Swords in Career

A career transition, relocation, or the quiet process of leaving a toxic work environment. Progress may feel slow, but you are moving in the right direction.
