Six of Swords

Upright

You are moving away from a turbulent, stressful situation toward calmer waters and mental clarity. Although this transition is challenging or sad, it is absolutely necessary for your long-term growth and healing. Keep moving.

Reversed

Stuck in limbo, resistance to change, return to storm, and unresolved stress. You are struggling to let go of a toxic past, preventing yourself from entering a peaceful future. Trust the flow and let go.

Symbolism

A boatman rowing a mother and child across water toward a green shore, with six vertical swords planted in the boat.
