The 6 of Swords signifies the resumption of an interrupted relationship. The meaning of the card in combination with the Major Arcana. Personal relationships and love

The meaning of the six of swords in the upright position

Have a nice trip, move. Avoidance of danger, help, assistance, a sigh of relief. The situation will change for the better, difficulties will remain in the past.

good news, travel (on water, over water), errand, escape
gaining a new, positive outlook on the world, moving, a better future

The Six of Swords Tarot predicts the coming of better times for the Client. Urgent problems and difficulties will be left behind as a result of mental rather than physical work. But we must take into account the typical weakening of the positive qualities of the card for Swords. Troubles are still ahead for the Client, and the transition to a new stage in life will not be easy. However, the worst has already passed. The Six of Swords tarot card also speaks of a long journey, probably overseas.

The Six of Swords tarot card means traveling in an uncertain direction. Changes with unknown results. Received message. Escape, deferment of sentence. A change that may allow you to repay your enemy. Sometimes this card brings good luck, despite previous defeats.

The meaning of the Six of Swords in reversed position

Some kind of statement, declaration of love, revelation of a secret. To move forward, you need to deal with old problems. Otherwise you will keep tripping over them all the time.

discovery of truth - promulgation, someone's recognition, declaration of love
confession, confession; perhaps a love proposal, a surprise
immobility, procrastination, temporary relief

In the wrong orientation, the Six of Swords Tarot can also show that the Client refuses to face the problems facing him. Temporary half-hearted measures will lead to a short-term improvement in the situation, but the source of difficulties will remain. The root problem must be recognized and resolved before moving forward.

Inner meaning. Given to understand the straight position of the map

Now everything is starting to change, but it is not yet clear whether for the better or for the worse. Perhaps you will go on a trip, receive a guest, or receive a message. No matter what happens, you are slowly emerging from the bad situation you recently found yourself in. Note that the meaning of the Six of Swords tarot card also includes a "declaration of love" - either in a romantic sense or in the sense that someone will offer you their sincere devotion. If you actually have to travel from one place to another (as opposed to a change of mental or emotional orientation), then most interpreters agree that it will probably be on water (or, given modern possibilities, over water).

“Fate leads the obedient, but drags the disobedient”

The interpretation of this card can be difficult for beginners. The Major Arcana Tarot card Six of Swords can mean travel, problem solving, spiritual anguish and even death. So let's figure it all out. In this article we will look at the description and meaning in relationships of an upright and inverted card, interpretation and combination with other cards in layouts for love, health, career and work.

In all its meanings, the Six of Swords indicates a certain transition; you can forget about stability here

Description of the map

We see a man driving a small boat with two passengers - a woman and a child. The flow of the river is calm, the helmsman confidently holds the oar, there are no visible dangers, but the figures are bent silently and sadly, as if they are swimming across not much, but the Styx itself. People are depressed because they were in trouble, but they managed to survive and save the most valuable thing - the child.

Symbolically, the woman under the veil is the soul of a person, the hero driving the boat is his mind, the river is the waters of the unconscious, and the child is new opportunities. Therefore, the card speaks of spiritual development, the transition to a new level of consciousness.

General meaning of the Six of Swords in the layout

This card always talks about a way out of the situation. No matter how confusing, complex and even dangerous the situation may seem, you can get away from problems. But you shouldn’t wait for help from above; salvation depends only on your actions. To find a way out, you will need to distance yourself from the situation psychologically, gain calm and self-control. If you succeed, a completely new path awaits you.

The Six of Swords Tarot advises to leave all sorrows behind, all sorrows, and set a course for new shores. You should move forward, even if you feel fear and doubt your abilities or the correctness of your goals. It will no longer be possible to stay in place. If you don't start moving yourself, life will force you to leave your cozy haven. It is interesting that in some decks six swords are directed from the shore to the back of a swimming traveler

But don’t be afraid if the Six of Swords of the Tarot appears in the reading; the meaning of the card may indicate that you will be able to avoid serious troubles, you will find safety and peace. Neighboring cards will tell you how easily you can get out of the situation, and whether there will be losses. Surrounded by positive Arcana, the Tarot card suggests that problems remain in the past, everything will soon get better, even if it doesn’t seem so now.

If the Six of Swords is surrounded by negative cards, we may be talking about a forced need for change, a change in life guidelines. In this case, you should calm down and open yourself to life lessons. Even if you are scared or sad, remember that any situation is given to a person to test the spirit and self-development.

Often the Six of Swords Tarot card directly indicates trips and travel, including water travel. This could be a business trip, vacation, romantic trip with your significant other, exploring new countries. It may mean moving to another city.

But the journey is not always physical; sometimes it is a metaphor that indicates a change of job, a new partner, or a reassessment of mental guidelines. The Six of Swords is also a card for gaining new knowledge. Perhaps you will discover another country with its traditions and customs. Or maybe you will read a book that will completely change your worldview. Or you will take a job with completely different standards than those to which you are accustomed.

Tarot card Six of Swords, the meaning of gaining new knowledge also manifests itself in different ways. This could be higher education, advanced training courses, or self-study. In this case, the helmsman leading the boat is interpreted as a teacher and mentor. Searching for the truth, revealing secrets, exchanging ideas and useful information, planning for the future. The Mind, which is associated with the suit of Swords, is actively working here.

Or it may be that your home is just that quiet haven where travelers go. In this case, expect guests to arrive soon or a message asking for help. The Six of Swords is also historically associated with messengers. Therefore, wait for news and messages that are likely to make you move and take action.

If the card fell last, then the outcome of the situation has not yet been determined. In any case, changes and a break from the usual way of things await you. But how it will all end is not yet clear. It only depends on your actions.

It is interesting that in the old days the Six of Swords predicted marriage for a girl. Wedding traditions used to be different, so the young bride often experienced not so much joy as anxiety, sadness and lack of understanding of what awaits her in the future, the pain of breaking up with her family

Personal Description

Hesitation and uncertainty about the future. Something is happening around, but the person does not understand what exactly, and does not know how he should act. He anticipates upcoming changes that either make him happy or sadden him. He experiences both anxiety from the disruption of his usual way of life and anticipation of new shores.

Positive features

The human mind is ready to accept new ideas. He thinks flexibly and is ready, if not to make a scientific discovery, then certainly to expand his horizons. A person perceives reality objectively, knows how and loves to learn. For him, logic is a priority over emotions and feelings.

He is inclined to have a philosophical view of the world and knows how to find positive aspects in everything. Able to psychologically distance himself from a situation in order to make the right decision in it, understand the reasons for its occurrence and determine a way out of the impasse. A person has internal integrity and is able to make real, feasible plans for the future. He controls his life and develops in the direction he has chosen.

If a person’s life is stagnant now, then soon everything will change. He has already made his decision and is ready to take the right step. Perhaps at the same time he feels internal resistance and reluctance to act, but he knows how to force himself. Man knows how to leave the past behind and move towards the unknown.

Negative traits

A person has given up something important to him in the name of a better future, so he experiences sadness and memories of the past come to him. Or perhaps he lacked the determination to take that very step, and now he regrets it.

Questions from visitors and answers from experts:

On a deeper level

Traveling on water is a deep archetypal symbol. First of all, it is associated with the descent into the underworld. Here one can recall both the River Styx and the helmsman Charon, who transported the souls of the ancient Greeks, and the Viking custom of equipping a funeral boat for the dead and then setting it on fire with an arrow.

Symbolically, traveling on water, like death, signifies deep personal transformation. One personality within a person dies, and another is born to replace it. It is no coincidence that the figures depicted on the boat are women and a child. The river can also symbolize the passage of time, which “flows.” In this case, it indicates remembering the past, planning for the future, and even visions of past lives.

According to the Six of Swords, a way out of a confused situation is achieved through a person’s internal work on himself. By changing one's own personality, perceiving a problem from a different point of view, a person finds its solution, and changes for the better occur in his life.

The card is associated with the sign of Virgo, so it is influenced by the planet Proserpina,

The Six of Swords speaks of a person’s deep spiritual work

which is responsible for the internal rebirth of a person and the renewal of his soul, as well as Mercury, which pushes on the spiritual search for oneself and the search for higher knowledge. The Second Decan of Aquarius, which is associated with the card, is associated with science and discovery, so the Six of Swords embodies freedom of thought.

But Aquarius does not embody scientific thinking, but deep spiritual wisdom. In the Second Decade, Spirit and Reason are combined, so the deep secrets of the universe are revealed to man. He is able to comprehend this truth, and then carry it into the world, not forgetting his purpose. Such a person is able to forget about everything that is not related to his great mission, so the Six of Swords advises taking care of those around you and being able to appreciate the present moment.

In some images, the Six Swords are folded into a six-pointed star - a symbol of the unity of the material and spiritual world. Therefore, the card speaks of the integrity of the individual, who has both a sharp logical mind and deep faith in what cannot be proven scientifically. This is a map of a person’s relationship with the world, which dissolves internal contradictions. In this case, you will probably have to face your fears. It is possible to work under the guidance of a spiritual mentor who will guide you on the right path.

The meaning of the card in various layouts

For career and work

You are expected to change jobs or get a new position, not necessarily a promotion, there may be a personnel reshuffle. With a high probability, the Six of Swords indicates a business trip. Training, obtaining a second higher education, advanced training or retraining. Launching a new project with unclear prospects. Lack of confidence in one's abilities as an employee.

All professions related to transport are connected with it: drivers and conductors, pilots and logisticians, traffic inspectors, etc. This card can also indicate the transportation of contraband. It is also associated with those who make money with the help of their minds - scientists, analysts, chess players, etc. It can talk about receiving a diploma, academic degree, title.

Sometimes the appearance of a card in a reading indicates that the development of your project requires the help of an expert or teamwork. The Six of Swords indicates teamwork, negotiations, and the search for business partners. But at the same time, it can indicate that a person “drives his own boat.” If there are conflict situations at work, they will soon be resolved.

For finances and property

You have all the information available to improve your financial situation, or at least prevent it from getting worse. Unfortunately, the Six of Swords often appears in situations where wealth “floats out of your hands”, and all that remains is to say “they have arrived.” Conscious renunciation of one's rights and property in favor of another person. Debtor's escape from creditors. Change of residence due to lack of finance, sale of real estate. The cause of negative consequences is wrong decisions.

For love and relationships

Six of Pentacles Tarot meaning in relationships can speak of the distance that separates people. An unexpected departure of one of the partners or a lover’s flight from responsibility is possible. Disagreements, threat of divorce. Forced separation, the end of a relationship, and even the death of one of the partners.

At the same time, the Six of Swords is a symbol of the River of Time, where the connection between generations is strong, where children in relationships repeat the fate of their parents. May reflect the negative influence of close relatives on existing relationships. In this case, you need to visit a family therapist.

In its ancient meaning, the card can mean for a girl a forced marriage, which she does not want to enter into, but for some reason is really necessary. There is a feeling of powerlessness and dependence on others. But perhaps someone will save the girl and “transport her to the other side.” This card also allows for unexpected declarations of love.

The Six of Swords is also associated with love correspondence and close communication. In its absence, the partners become distant, but a sincere conversation will help resolve any conflict. Sometimes a card can indicate that the family helps the questioner overcome any problems and is his “safe haven.” But more often it indicates a break in existing relationships and the search for new ones.

For health status

If you are sick, then with a high probability a trip to a resort, to a doctor in another city or country will bring you healing. But do not forget that the Six of Swords is associated with death and, surrounded by other similar cards, indicates a fatal outcome. In an inverted position, it speaks of agoraphobia, panic attacks, and asphyxia due to nervousness.

Now you should study, new knowledge will open up great prospects for you. Both travel and spiritual practices will benefit you. Solve problems, don't run away from them. Open up to new experiences and stop clinging to the past. But remember that your knowledge and your experience do not give you a reason to be arrogant in front of other people.

The meaning of a reversed card

The Six of Swords reversed indicates that there is no obvious way out of the situation. Now you are at a dead end. Problems accumulate one after another, attempts to solve them do not bring results. Other people refuse to help you. Most likely, you made a wrong step, try to find it and return what is still possible to save.

The most common mistake with the inverted Six of Swords is the lack of desire to change something in your life, clinging to old foundations. Using others for your own purposes. Unprincipled. Risky undertakings that can end even in the courtroom. Revealing a secret you wish you could hide.

If you are planning a trip, be careful. At best, it simply won’t happen or you’ll be delayed. At worst, an accident will occur on the road. Most often, the Six of Swords indicates death from drowning, but other disasters are possible during the trip.

Combined with other cards

How is the Six of Swords interpreted in combination with other cards:

With Strength – the intention to change your life;
With the Star - losses along the way;
With the Three of Wands - serious study, obtaining new information;
With the Four of Wands – you should now rest;
With the Eight of Wands, a journey awaits you soon
With the Ten of Wands - you will struggle with all difficulties alone;
Reversed with the Ten of Wands - delays in business;
With the Three of Cups, you will soon be able to relax;
With the Four of Cups - deep depression and sadness;
With the Eight of Cups - a trip somewhere alone.

When the 6 of Swords appears in a divination, it says that you need to move away from an emotional situation. Your past may have been filled with worries, but now you are gradually emerging from them, becoming calmer.

The tarot card may indicate a catalyst for change. Perhaps you have met someone who has led you to make profound changes.

Arkan also means that you want to run away from your problems. But to solve them you need to look at the problem and fix it.

In rare cases, the Six of Swords indicates death and funerals

Description of the map

In the center of the card is a young man and six swords. A young man stands in a boat and steers it with a pole. Also in the boat you can see a woman with a child, passengers of the boat, whom the young man transports across the pond to the other side.

The same swords are stuck next to the passengers. The pond is calm and serene. The shore is visible in the distance. The situation on the map is calm, the young man does his job without much effort.

The card contains two meanings of card perception:

Changing one coast to another in terms of place of residence or traveling on business.
Moving from the world of the living to the world of the dead. This context must be considered and perceived in the context of the current situation. This can be a hint that something needs to be corrected or serve as a warning for action.

Another vision of the map: a family led by a man is crossing a pond to the other side. A woman hugs a child so that he is not scared and cold. Six swords provide balance for a boat moving on the waves. In the poses of the characters in the card, one can read slight tension and anxiety, despite the fact that the general situation is peaceful and calm.

Direct position value

Keys:

The difficulties are over, everything is behind us, the journey.
Moving, change of environment or place of residence.
Receiving favorable news.
Changes for the better.
Perhaps something is unclear, it is worth waiting for clarification in the situation. Relief.
Safety.
Hitting the road.
Peace.
The appearance of a favorable sign.
Summarizing.
Send on a search for your path and yourself.
Finding a balance for external and internal states.
Achieving inner peace, balancing the situation. Transformation, the emergence of something new, unknown.
The ability to see the future or past lives.
A difficult period in life is ending.
Uncertainties go away and a new stage of your life comes.
Now is the time to take the next step to move forward to better things.
All your difficulties are behind you, your problems have been resolved, and you cannot influence the course of events.

It's time to receive a reward for your efforts, relax and enjoy life. Give yourself a rest and allow what is happening to simply pass through you and lead you along the path that is predetermined for you.

The resulting rest should be used wisely. Stock up on strength, accumulate energy, because there are still many discoveries ahead, many opportunities, and a new stage of your life awaits you, which is still unknown what may require of you. You need to be patient, persistent and willing to move forward.

Perhaps you are expecting a trip or a boat trip.

Interpretation of the inverted position

Inhibition, delays, procrastination, undecidedness of something, lack of confidence in one’s abilities.
Revealing a secret, problems on the road, postponed rest.
No chance.
Intentional refusal of advice or assistance.
Refusal to see things as they are presented, lack of perception of reality.
Inability to find a way out of the situation.
Deadlock situation.
Manifestation of selfish character.
Expectation.
Manipulating people, using others to achieve a goal. Difficult situation, fatigue.

You are trying to hide from the difficulties that have arisen, running away from solving problems. You are trying to isolate yourself from what is happening. Instead of defending your position, you go into the shadows and shift your responsibilities to others.

By delaying any events, you aggravate the situation, escalate the situation and complicate your life. Postponing solving problems brings only temporary relief, but it is worth remembering that problems cannot be solved on their own, and difficulties do not just go away. All these circumstances require your intervention and your actions.

Layering problems, accumulating unresolved situations at one moment can ruin your life. Fall like a lump on your head and you will not only not be able to ignore what is happening, but you will also be unable to clear out this lump on your own.

Missed opportunities, delays and postponed matters will give a negative result, since you have missed the opportunity to control what is happening.

Warning. Don't be inactive, don't be passive, don't let things take their course.

You need to intervene in the situation, express yourself, action is necessary. Ignoring is not the best way to solve the problem. Moreover, you risk finding yourself in a difficult situation and losing.

Perhaps now is the time to analyze the situation, understand where and when the mistake was made, and return to the starting position or achieve a stable result.

Advice: do not take advantage of circumstances and put off solving the problem, thereby aggravating the situation and accumulating problems.

Six of Swords in health

Upright position: recovery from illness. Miraculous recovery or healing. Health problems can arise due to place of residence and environmental conditions.

Advice: change of scenery.

But it is worth considering the whole situation as a whole. It is better to consult with a specialist once again and listen more carefully to your body. Since a change of environment is not only a new place of residence, but also a transition from the world of the living to the world of the dead.

Reversed position: the disease progresses, a gloomy state, all fears come out. Reluctance to see a doctor can make the situation worse. To get out of this situation, you need the intervention of a specialist and the help of loved ones.

Six of Swords in Relationships

Upright position: mutual respect, equal relationships, partners are in harmony. Warmth and sincerity accompany relationships. Calm prevails, everything is smooth and smooth. Openness and trust.

Your relationship may involve separation or some kind of travel, with the help of which you can evaluate your partner. Understand what you yourself are worth, and whether this relationship is worth continuing.

Warning: the interpretation of the card should be considered in the context of the situation.

On the one hand, this is well-being in a couple, on the other, a breakup and a new relationship.

Reversed position: in a couple there are conflicts and quarrels, disagreements and intractability of both partners. Constantly one of the partners puts himself above the other, his opinion in the foreground, his desires in the main position.

Obstacles to the implementation of plans.

The partners are tired of each other, there is a desire to break out of routine and everyday life.

Six of Swords at work

Direct position: career prospects. Progress and development in any field of activity. Teamwork. The emergence of new ideas, the emergence of opportunities and means for the implementation of plans. Global thinking, viewing the situation and all the nuances. Wide coverage of analyzed information.

Achieving what you want with the correct use of your professional skills and knowledge. Introducing new strategies and plans to benefit future work.

Perhaps a person may have a desire to open his own business, work for himself and for his own pleasure.

Reversed position: limited opportunities, obstacles, inability to get a job or join a team. Man creates obstacles for himself. Don't blame others for your failures.

Responsibility for failures lies solely with you. Your slowness and excessive caution prevent you from revealing your full strength and expanding on a large scale.

Six of Swords about the current situation

Direct position: finding ways out of difficult situations. It is necessary to make a thoughtful and informed decision. It is necessary to give up bad habits and moments of the past that are already a burden to you.

Feel free to step forward and set out to look for new paths and make plans, look for inspiration, gain strength and realize new dreams.

All your situations and problems are directly related to past decisions made. In a word, you are now receiving and paying for what you once did.

Perhaps everything is not going exactly as planned, but you have enough strength, energy, and most importantly opportunities and resources to turn the situation in your direction. All in your hands.

Reversed position: the situation is tense, something is slowing down the development of events. A person is surrounded by a lot of different information, but he cannot focus his attention on the right aspect, thus, opportunities flow out of your hands.

Advice: do not close yourself off from the help offered. Use every opportunity for a favorable result. The main problem lies in the person himself; all the difficulties are due to the reluctance to part with the past.

Keys to understanding the Six of Swords:

Step aside so that conflicts don’t bother you.
Development of intelligence.
It is necessary to part with the past.
Traveling on the surface of the water.

Questions necessary for analysis when the Six of Swords appears.

Where are you going?
Why are you going there?
Who and what is accompanying you?
Who are you:

The driver who controls and chooses the route?

A passenger who obeyed the movement?

Baggage, without the right to choose the direction of movement, without the opportunity to be heard.

Are you running away? Where? From what or who?
Is it really better on the side you're heading to, or is it just imagination?

Psychological aspects. Suspended state. Duality of position. There may be uncertainty and hesitation between two options for making a decision. Something is happening, we just need to understand what and why.

You may have to learn to adapt to things. Taking into account your past experience, applying knowledge and moving on may not be a very confident step and with caution, but it will help you avoid mistakes.

You will find out right now what the Six Swords card can mean and what forms it takes on.

The Six of Swords card means a way out of a difficult situation

General value

If I had to choose a phrase that clearly describes the Six of Swords card, then the appropriate description would be - a way out of a difficult situation. The card tells the questioner that he is able to get out of a confusing situation, a labyrinth of dangers. Calmness, achievement of goals, self-control, simplicity are three synonyms of the Six Swords. Other common general interpretations include:

enthusiasm, readiness for something new, the emergence of new life guidelines;
you will be able to avoid difficulties, hassle, and waste of time;
stress remains a thing of the past - life begins to improve;
you must trust your heart, choose a path, change your guidelines;
focus on the positive aspects of your life - all life lessons will lead you to harmony, peace of mind, newness;
a change of environment will do you good: any trip will be successful, and a change of job or apartment will bring new emotions - sometimes these are sudden trips, the meaning of which is interpreted depending on nearby cards;
the card directs the questioner towards self-development - various trainings, courses, and university studies will be useful;
wait for guests to appear, receive messages, and interesting tasks.

Most explanations associate the Tarot Six of Swords with the onset of peace, calm after a long bustle - you will “find a safe haven.”

The direct position of the Six of Swords speaks of how important it is not to despair and to continue on your path, regardless of the circumstances. An inverted card symbolizes a big and serious risk. You will not be able to escape from troubles - you will have to be patient, because it is inevitable.

Deep meaning of the card

Understanding yourself can be very difficult. Many people go to a professional psychologist for help, look for the right words from friends, but only a few know how well cards can help. So, in order to solve a vital issue within yourself, it is enough to draw the Tarot 6 of Swords. The meaning of the card has a lot of information for any person who is confused in his own life. A person faces a long journey within himself to search for changes, transformations, answers. The questioner will be able to heal his world and bring positive changes into it.

Traditional interpretations of the card when resolving difficult personal issues are:

liberation from confused thoughts, transformation of a sad situation into a calm, measured life;
readiness to move to a new level with radically new opportunities: the Six of Swords is a symbol of self-improvement and development;
rebirth - the fortuneteller will be surprised at his inner strength and resilience;
indifference to trifles - you strive forward, not paying attention to the little things;
achieving new horizons - the search for oneself turned out to be successful;
harmony with the inner world - complete calm;
To open new horizons, you will need to get rid of old habits: these can be both harmful and dear to your heart customs.

More often than not, the Six of Swords describes a truly intelligent person with aspirations. For those who are lucky enough to see this card in a reading, luck often smiles, progressive ideas appear, and a scientific mind develops. If the map falls into the hands of a scientist, then he should expect new discoveries, ideas, and insights. The period of the triumph of reason is approaching.

The card carries a warning about the importance of constantly “feeding” the intellect. Only those people who are trying to develop spirituality will be able to open up to the world. Try attending several scientific lectures, cultural events, and theatre. You will see how cozy the chosen place will be for you. Don't neglect your own development.

The Six of Swords describes a truly intelligent person with aspirations

Since the card is directly associated with healing, it can mean a person’s recovery after a long illness or, being with negative cards, departure to another world - the interpretation plays an indescribable role. An inverted position may signal the appearance of a suffocating cough or asphyxia.

Professional Interpretation and Finance

In the professional field, the Six of Swords Tarot mainly talks about virgin lands, work, changing jobs or getting an unexpected position. The card expresses a person’s uncertainty, his doubts: you think that you cannot cope with so many changes, but this must be done. The fear and anxiety that manifests itself in the fortuneteller will disappear only when there is an absolute farewell to the past. All your expectations will be met only if you take bold actions and dedication.

For those people who have long dreamed of changing jobs, but did not find any reason for this, the Six of Swords card is a call to action. It's time for you to get rid of the shackles of your hated job, university, and rude boss. Believe that you are worthy of a new standard of living, success and career growth. Your knowledge is what will become a lifeline in any difficult situation. Achieving recognition by applying what you have learned will not be difficult.

The interpretation of the card in any financial situation is not positive, and mainly concerns the loss of property, bad loans, loans, mistakes. A business person needs to be careful in granting deferments, filling out financial payments, and preparing financial statements. Any mistake is punishable by serious deprivation. Very often, the Six of Swords talks about the need to change jobs in order to avoid financial losses. Remember, you were most likely offered a vacant position with a competitive salary? The time has come for a positive answer.

Love sphere

Tarot cards are most often used to resolve issues of the heart. This is justified by the fact that this particular area represents something unknown and incomprehensible. Relationships between people are a huge raging ocean, which is impossible to fully explore: you will either crash on the waves or find yourself on the nearest shore. The Six of Swords card brings change in love scenarios. They can be for the better, which happens very often, or they can bring melancholy and disappointment. The union of two partners, most often, falls apart due to betrayal, or you get to know your loved one in a new way, giving him your heart again. Such common interpretations do not fully reflect the various designations of the Six Swords. The following characteristics are also possible:

the appearance of a loved one after long loneliness - a successful personal life;
phenomenal popularity among the opposite sex, which has never been observed before;
unpleasant “connections” will be broken - the questioner will no longer have to worry about them;
a feeling of powerlessness, the inability to change anything, constant concessions;
complete harmony, balance, beauty. The relationship will become ideal after both partners begin to appreciate each other and take the best from the relationship.

If we turn to the ancient interpretations of the card, we will find that previously it has always been a symbol of a love confession, an explanation of feelings, and a marriage proposal. The Six of Swords contributed to the emergence of a new family, united kindred souls, and made the world more holistic. Any person, seeing this map, sighed with relief, because the end of conflicts, a change of situation, clarification of problems, and resolution of unpleasant situations were nearing.

You need to decide for yourself which interpretation is right for your couple based on the chosen layout and the question you asked. Remember that love relationships are deeply individual and require maximum analysis, care, and detail.

What to expect from a reversed card?

What incredible explanations the Six of Swords gives us. The meaning of an inverted card is also varied and deserves attention. In the traditional sense, it means an unsuccessful search for a way out. A fortuneteller may encounter a dead end in both senses, unsolvable family, work, and educational problems. Most often, it takes a long time to get out of a deadlock. In addition, the map indicates:

a connection with a risky enterprise that will end extremely badly for you - beware, because you may find yourself in a hopeless situation;
resistance to change - the questioner needs to push off from the “shore” and begin to swim towards the opening prospects;
a mistaken step taken - a person should try to return to the starting position with other thoughts; the sooner you discover the mistake, the sooner luck will return;
the possibility of an accident, an accident on the road, delays - be careful not to ignore the signs of fate;
misfortunes associated with visiting reservoirs, pools, springs - the risk of drowning is extremely high.

The card characterizes a selfish, petty person who does not want to change. Sometimes she exposes something secret, hidden, which the fortuneteller has never spoken about out loud. It can be:

unexpected confessions of something;
sudden decisions;
An offer of marriage;
cheating on your partner;
non-traditional sexual orientation;
occurrence of the disease.

Sometimes the Six of Swords indicates a return from a long trip, which did not bring positive emotions, but was remembered only by culture shock, waste of energy, and loss of money. Work will be a relief.

Human connection with the Six of Swords

Not every card can characterize a person, but in the case of the 6 Swords, the fortuneteller should be prepared to be exposed. Mostly, the card describes strong people striving into the distance. These are real fighters for whom nothing is impossible: changing jobs, housing, partners. These individuals will achieve their goal in any way. For them, old habits, attachments, and past relationships are not obstacles. Hope for the best accompanies them every minute. People experiencing suffering at the time of fortune telling may no longer worry, since the difficult period is over. Sometimes the card indicates a person on a trip, vacation, or a relative who wants to visit the fortuneteller.

The reversed card is associated with slow people who constantly struggle with difficulties. Such a person is constantly lazy, does not do important things, and wastes time.

In combination with other cards, the 6 of Swords can either completely change its meaning or clarify it. For the most detailed fortune telling, you need to know the interpretation of each card in order to skillfully draw up the overall picture. For example, falling out with the Jester, the Six of Swords symbolizes the beginning of a journey, a move that hides the unknown. A person can go to an unknown place, country, city that has no prospects. The combination of the Empress and the Six Swords means a negative pregnancy and the need to visit a doctor.

Thus, despite the fact that the 6 of Swords is a real card of change, a lot depends on the layout and nearby cards. The Six of Swords is able to answer any question in an accessible and detailed manner, sometimes surprising with its accuracy or cruelty. The fortuneteller must be ready for the truth and the beginning of action, since only by opening up to change can he radically change his life. The Six of Swords card is a real opportunity to look into your future, draw conclusions and change your life for the better.
