Crossing to calmer water; quietly leaving a hard time behind.
Six of Swords upright
Crossing to calmer water; quietly leaving a hard time behind. Swords belong to air: thought, words and conflict. A Swords card points at a decision or a story you are telling yourself.
Six of Swords reversed
The crossing isn't finished; carrying the same problem to a new place.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
Getting through a hard time together; crossing to calmer water.
Work and money
A job change or a move; getting away from a tense environment.
Advice
