Transitions in life are simple and surprisingly complex, joyful, and bittersweet. To move forward, sometimes we must leave something important behind. While this may come with some hesitation, doing so often is the wisest decision to make, and soon the sense of loss transforms into acceptance. In this light, the Six of Swords is a card that says, “don’t be afraid to make the hard choices in life or to move through this rite of passage. You are headed for a better place.”
Don’t dwell on the past because that is already far behind you. Don’t fear starting over, because sometimes that is the only choice you have.
The Six of Swords also draws on the theme of intelligence. Use rationality and logic when examining your options. Where have you been? How will this help where you are going? Let not only previous knowledge be your guide but intuition as well. By doing so, you will be able to bolster your analytical abilities to make the best out of a complex series of choices.
On the literal note, the Six of Swords can predict a trip over water, either by boat, ferry, or an international overseas flight. Because you are leaving someone or something behind, there will be some sadness. Yet, you will be gaining new territory to explore, so open your mind and learn about who you’re meant to be.
