Six of Swords

Swords

UPRIGHT Moving forward often means leaving something behind. The Six of Swords indicates the moment when you take your first steps toward moving on and starting over. This decision requires mental fortitude over troubled emotional waters. This card may also indicate far travels and missing those who cannot go with us. Once you have addressed this loss, you can fully enjoy and appreciate your journey. This is a positive sign, alluding to a moment of personal strength and agency. REVERSE In reverse, the Six of Swords indicates that you are attempting to move on from past troubles and are experiencing challenges. Unaddressed conflicts from the past keep catching up to you, hindering your progress. It is a gentle reminder that the future will be brighter. It also warns of an aversion to change. You may think you have moved on, but old habits perpetuate old problems.
