This map shows a ferryman carrying passengers across the river. Notice that all the swords are balanced in the boat - this means that stability has returned after a period of difficulty. The ferryman is a symbol of our spirit. It guides the passengers - our personality and body - into the next phase of life.

Fortune telling in half a minute

Conrad was kicked off the school tennis team. The card said that there is no point in crying over spilled milk; what is done cannot be returned. However, Conrad needs to figure out what the problem is so he can learn from the mistakes and continue to move forward. What happened does not mean the end of my tennis career. Maybe we need to find a new approach to things.

The name of this card in the Thoth Tarot - "God of Science" - emphasizes its connection with the intellect.

A way out of stress. Overcoming difficulties.

The harmony of the number six combined with the difficulties inherent in the suit of Swords makes for an interesting mixture. This card signifies a transition from turbulent times to a more peaceful state, although we are not yet completely out of trouble. In the Royal Tarot from Fez, Morocco, this card shows a man steering a boat towards a distant shore. Crossing the water means that past difficulties are left behind. However, the swords in the boat suggest that we still have some old patterns of thinking, as well as some anxiety about the unknown future.

Symbolism

The Six of Swords portends a weakening of the current tense state. We have learned lessons from the past and therefore are calm and confident. The future is not yet clear, but the first signs of improving circumstances are already appearing. We need to overcome outdated thinking patterns, but this cannot be achieved overnight. This card heralds the beginning of a new cycle of life with new hopes and expectations, but also new concerns about our prospects for the future. When we move from negative thinking to more positive thinking, we take an exciting journey into the depths of our consciousness. Now we are ready to overcome any obstacles that arise in front of us, because we understand that there is no turning back.

Interpretation

If you get this card, it means that you are ready to seek a more harmonious environment or take a trip abroad. It may also indicate a change of residence, which will cause a turning point and the beginning of a new cycle in your life. Your prospects are now much more favorable than they have been recently; and you gradually move away - both physically and mentally - from the turbulent past, even if you know that you still have many difficult moments ahead. You may have had to go through a time of great adversity, and this card highlights the fact that it is now behind you. You are able to regain your self-esteem and self-respect after the humiliating experiences of the Five of Swords.

Meaning in fortune telling

Trip or journey. Travel by sea. Path. Trying to overcome difficulties. Expedient behavior. Success after worries.

Reversed meaning

A hopeless situation. Unsolicited offer. Lack of immediate solutions to existing problems. Confession. Statement.

P. Scott Hollander. "Tarot for Beginners."

< >

The Six of Swords indicates travel, the arrival of a guest, or the receipt of a message.

Inner meaning

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 interpretation of this 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).

Value in the layout

Direct or positive: traveling in an uncertain direction. Changes with unknown results. Received message. The escape; deferment of sentence. A change that may allow you to repay your enemy. Sometimes this card brings good luck, despite previous defeats.

Inverted or negative: confession, confession; perhaps a love proposal. In any case, it's a surprise.

Mary Greer. "The Complete Book of Reversed Tarot Cards."

After the difficulties and problems of a Five, you may want to distance yourself from what is happening in order to regain calm and composure. The Six of Swords is often referred to as "the journey on water"; it indicates transitions and movements of any kind. You may be running away from difficulties and trying to restore harmony and peace of mind. You may want to avoid risk and danger and seek a safe haven, but keep in mind that this card could just as easily mean a vacation, a nice walk, or a change of job. As a card of the air and mind, the Six of Swords can be associated with travel planning, as well as the communication of ideas, information or materials. In some cases, it involves some kind of secret activity, one way or another connected with the exodus, departure or flight.

This card is directly related to the rational scientific mind, which requires distance from the object for successful analysis. Sixes of all stripes emphasize the importance of the ability to see what is happening and systemic relationships between objects. Wide scope and objectivity of vision can be achieved by leaving storms and storms aside and directing your ship to calmer shores. The Six of Swords of the Waite-Smith deck indicates that you are provided with support in your aspirations. According to this card, you may also show a humanitarian interest in the well-being of others. The figure on the map with which you are most identified shows your reaction and attitude to what is happening. You have the opportunity to choose which thoughts and ideas you “take for yourself” and which ones you discard as unnecessary. Understanding someone else's point of view requires proper communication and a willingness to put in the effort.

Traditional meanings: road, path, transition. Means, methods, ways of action. Walk. Travel, trip, vacation. Messenger or visitor. Trace, imprint, remnant. Dependence on others. Try new goals and approaches. An attempt to overcome difficulties.

Reversed Six of Swords

When the Six of Swords appears reversed in a reading, it means that you are either unable to escape a difficult situation or are resisting new perspectives. Perhaps you are mentally or physically at a dead end, in a hopeless situation. You may refuse to travel, travel, or simply not want to move. In its extreme manifestation, the card can give agoraphobia - fear of open spaces. There may be delays, changes in plans, and travel and transportation issues. There may be floods, various water difficulties, suffocation and drowning, or you may feel as if you are rowing against the current. Secret activities may become public - for example, you may be detained at customs at the airport. You will feel like you are at a dead end. On the other hand, the card may simply mean returning from a trip - probably in a state of culture shock.

You stubbornly stick to the shore and swim in shallow water, afraid to get off the ground and move in one direction or another. Perhaps you have not understood your opponent's point of view and are clinging to your prejudices for safety reasons. You perceive everything from the inside, very subjectively and without external verification.

When projecting this card onto other people, it may seem to you that they are like rats running away from a ship, leaving you alone on it. They may exhibit inflexible thinking and reluctance to cooperate. There is a danger that one may hold beliefs or prejudices that are incorrect and untested by reason. The traditional interpretation suggests misfortune caused by "coming out of the closet", public exposure, or an unwanted proposal. All this may lead to changes in plans or the need for an urgent way out of the situation. On the other hand, the journey can take place in an internal reality rather than an external one - for example, using guided visualization or active imagination.

Finding yourself in a dead end situation, you can psychologically compensate for it by withdrawing into aloofness and indifference, or, conversely, throwing yourself at the embrasure. Undercompensation can result in feelings of being trapped and increased fear and indecisiveness.

From a shamanic point of view, this is one of the cards for the journey to the lower world, talking about the need for the return and healing of the soul or about visions of past and future lives, often figuratively associated with a journey along the river of time - especially if the inner child or guide is involved in the process.

Traditional Reversed Meanings: unwanted offer. Declaration, disclosure, confession, revelation, surprise. Receiving a diagnosis of the disease. A discovery that changes plans. Good or bad reputation caused by a public statement.

Key phrase

I'm floating on the waves of time and don't know what awaits me around the corner.

Description of the card and its internal meaning

This card in most decks depicts a boat with people floating slowly in the pre-dawn fog. This illustration symbolizes the changes awaiting the Questioner, but it is not yet clear whether they are for the better or for the worse. However, no matter what happens, a person will ultimately emerge victorious from the unpleasant situation in which he finds himself. The Six of Swords is associated with feelings of pain, dejection and fatigue - despite the coming relief, the Questioner still has a lot of work to do.

Card meaning

Straight position

The Six of Swords speaks of ideals that are waiting in the wings; about wisdom; about a new stage; about changes with an as yet unknown result; traveling in an unknown direction (most likely by water); escape or deferment of sentence; about receiving the news; about the joy and even the opportunity to repay your enemies. Sometimes this card is interpreted as good luck following a series of troubles.

Inverted position

An inverted card means a declaration of love, conversations with the manifestation of a huge amount of emotions, confession, surprises. Sometimes it can mean a desire to stand out, bypass conventions, and make a statement.

Daniela Chris. "Magic book of Tarot. Fortune telling."

< >
The Six of Swords means a change of views, the development of new views. It reflects, in contrast to the Five of the same suit, an extremely calm and harmonious stage of your life. After the stormy and hectic activities of the previous period, you plunge into an atmosphere of peace and goodwill, leave problems behind and simply walk away from troubles. Sometimes the card indicates physical changes - for example, a change of place of residence.

Inverted - you will not be able to escape from difficulties or isolate yourself from problems. The only way out is to try to change your attitude towards your surroundings.

Astrological meaning:
Mars in the 4th house as a breakthrough to freedom from the usual environment, and Mercury in the 9th house as a search for new horizons.
SIX OF SWORDS
The Six of Swords points to changes that can help us reach new shores. As a "breakthrough" card, it sits somewhere between a hero's joyful performance (Chariot) and a sad farewell (Eight of Cups). Its specific meaning largely depends on ourselves - on whether we rejoice at the upcoming changes, whether we are waiting for them, or, on the contrary, we are afraid. In any case, it symbolizes the path to a new shore, for which, however, you will have to leave the old one. What awaits us ahead is unknown. Therefore, it also means the bitterness of farewell, uncertainty, fears and worries, but also a certain curiosity and interest in what will happen. It must be borne in mind that this “new shore” awaiting us ahead does not necessarily mean a physical movement from somewhere to somewhere; this could be discovering something new in oneself, learning new rules of the game, new norms of life, or getting to know other cultures and religions. In the I Ching book and in mythology, crossing water always means a step from multiplicity to singularity.

Science, Disclosure
Second decade of Aquarius from February 1 to 9.
Astrological equivalents: Virgo, Mercury and Saturn in Virgo, Houses Sixth and Tenth.
The second decanate of Aquarius symbolizes consistent and detailed aspirations, science and unexpected intuitions in the realm of the unknown. And if the first decade develops freedom of thought, then the Second makes the transition from subjective thinking to objective thinking. This decade is ruled by Mercury and the asteroid Ceres.
But Aquarius does not symbolize the abstract thinking of Libra (the intellect here covers life processes as a whole and its work can already be called spiritual), therefore the Second Decan of Aquarius belongs to the sphere of the highest rational and at the same time spiritual principle. The name of this decade is “Disclosure” - this is the revelation to the mind of the secrets of nature, man, the Earth and the Cosmos. This is the development of the human spirit, mastering new horizons, and the emergence of truth into the world.
This decade is characterized by a desire for distance and complete indifference to what is not within its sphere of interests, stubborn adherence to its course, regardless of its needs and the needs of others.
An idea capable of embracing the world becomes higher than the reality of the world. Our Russia, the country of Aquarius, can serve as a negative example of how science, designed to guide nature, neglects it, and the implementation of scientific ideas in life leaves no room for caring for people. Therefore, the main and most important task of the second decade of Aquarius is a careful attitude towards the present, without which the future cannot be realized.
The Tarot card depicts a man with a pole, ferrying a boat from one shore to another. Along with him in the boat are a woman, a child and six swords standing parallel. The waters are unconsciously calm. (The soul is harmonized and moves towards a new perspective under the guidance of the mind.)
Sometimes the Six of Swords is interpreted as a transition of consciousness to a new level: where a child is a symbol of his potential.

Straight position:
In the upright position, the Six of Swords symbolizes self-sacrifice, a precisely calculated correct action, a step towards spirituality.
Before us is the image of a person striving to improve the world through action. True, at the level of the Six of Swords, the step has not yet been taken, but it can be taken. Virgo is ruled by Proserpina, therefore, through the Six of Swords, human rebirth, restructuring, rebirth occurs. At the same time, the Mercury influence is also strong here, so the card can symbolize a journey or trip.
The card can also mean overcoming difficulties, victory over routine by meticulously mastering it, this is success after a long hectic activity (trouble).

Inverted position:
In an inverted position, the Six of Swords gives Virgo in its lowest manifestation: selfishness, tendency to use others (to sit on the neck), self-sacrifice on the contrary, stagnation. Problems that arise are not solved, but are put on the back burner.

Evgeny Kolesov. "The ABC of Tarot".

< >

River, gray sky; a man with a pole guides a boat towards a distant shore. The boat contains six swords placed vertically. In some versions of the cards, it depicts two more figures - a woman's and a child's.
In “Tarot of Aquarius” the same theme is solved in a more original way: on the steps of the castle there is a woman looking at the road. She had just seen a man off on a long journey.
This card represents a person (or perhaps an entire family) taking an important step. He abandons his past life, many habits, connections, activities and sets off towards the unknown. Swords in this case symbolize memories of sad events and hopes for a better future.
For a courageous person, accustomed to relying on his own strength, it literally means a chance of success: although the business he intends to do is unfamiliar to him, he still has enough strength and determination to achieve success.
For a timid, indecisive person, it is unfavorable: the risks and dangers are too great, so his venture is most likely doomed to failure.

Inverted:
It means that the chance of success is negligible for both the brave and the timid, so it is not worth taking on this matter.

Advice
Set out, despite the delays, and enter new territory.

Warning
Don't celebrate a coward.

A forecast is the probability of future events that may or may not happen. A magical attribute consisting of colorful symbols allows you to see what is inaccessible to ordinary human eyes. Dangers, sudden changes, joy or extreme pain.

The Six of Swords is a difficult card to read

The knowledge that a person can gain from a little fortune telling is amazing. Some will gratefully accept the interpreted information, while others will discard the advice of the ancient deck without a twinge of conscience. Tarot cards do not create reality, they do not invent moments of the future, all that the attributes of fortune telling offer is the unvarnished truth.

The Six of the Sword is a special card in the Tarot

Interpreting cards does not take much time, but studying each sign, each combination of strong and weak symbols is a long, exhausting process. Only the chosen one reveals to the magicians the whole essence of the world, its whole nature and pattern.

Tarot 6 of Swords is a two-faced card in nature, difficult to read, appearing in a reading for a specific purpose. How to correctly interpret a combination of magic symbols and not make a mistake with the forecast?

Nature and meaning of the 6 of Swords Tarot card

The Six of Swords tarot is a harbinger of chances that promise great success in the future.

It is also possible to achieve a certain status illegally, but at the same time avoid punishment for the offense. Blind luck will not follow a person for long, but if the lucky one manages to place high bets, victory will not be long in coming. The success that strong-willed leaders strive for is not at all guaranteed for people with a suspicious character. The undertakings and ideas of a weak-spirited person are doomed to failure.

The Six of Swords indicates imminent global changes that promise new discoveries. An important warning from the ancient symbol - it is not the changes in life themselves that are significant, but the attitude of the questioner towards them. The new, that which has special weight, does not tolerate proximity to the old, which has long outlived its usefulness.

Saying goodbye to past memories or once-loved people is difficult, but it is essential for continued growth. If you follow the traditional fortune-telling of the Six from the suit of Swords, then a person needs to get out of the created comfort zone. Often, such an ancient symbol means a move that will happen in the near future.

6 of the Sword - always change

Mental changes are inevitable, as evidenced by the strong Six card from the suit of Swords. Awareness, religious beliefs, view of the world around us - everything will change instantly, but at the same time, internal metamorphoses will take a lot of time.

The Six of the Sword speaks of possible future success, but only under certain conditions

A dual symbol, which is difficult for a novice magician to interpret, manifests itself as a harbinger of success, possible only under certain conditions. The forecast for building a future path will not be the easiest, but the most productive for a mature person.

Upright and inverted position of the Six of Swords card

The Six of Swords Tarot has two different messages. The meaning of a powerful ancient symbol depends on the position of the card in the layout. The neighboring signs that the magic deck offers in the form of hints about future events play an important role in the interpretation of fortune telling.

Direct position of amrakh 6 of Swords

The Straight Six marks renewal through suffering and discomfort. Fate brings a person to a turning point, and the longer the questioner delays choosing a further path, the more distant the given chances become.

The positive message of such a symbol is that no adversity can last forever. Overcoming difficulties is a forced stage, and the questioner must go through it alone. The Six of Swords, the meaning of which is interpreted by each magician in his own way, is by nature a card with a minimal emotional background. The symbol of the Tarot deck only demonstrates the possible chances, and only a person can choose them.

Reversed Amrah 6 of Swords

The inverted position of the card with the image of a stranger sailing in a boat, who looks into the distance through swords reflecting the sun (there are six in total), promises minor failures. Expectations of results will not coincide with reality. Dreams can come true, but only partially, and the energy expended will not be equivalent to the benefits that a person accumulates. Hard work that takes away your strength every day will turn out to be futile and useless.

The card of chagrin - the inverted Six of the suit of Swords, warns against a negative attitude regarding new affairs.

Even though the work done will not pay off completely, the wisdom and knowledge that will come in the process will be useful in the near future.

Tarot deck layout for work and career growth

The sixth card of the suit of Swords indicates a possible change of place of work or a radical change in work field. The main meanings of the card in the layout for the professional future:

The Six of the Sword in a job scenario is a symbol of a new income-generating position

the herald of a new position that brings more income, but requires constant physical and moral costs;
a sign indicating urgent changes, which will be very difficult to keep track of;
fears of the responsibility of a new position;
excessive excitement;
prolonged adaptation;
support from close circles;
updating your workplace or home;
actions that promise success.

The support and help of loved ones will allow you to overcome all the obstacles that arise with your head held high. In difficult moments, the Six advises to rely only on time-tested partners or friends.

Fortune telling on human spiritual development

The 6 of Swords Tarot meaning can predict the most subtle levels of human consciousness, which other fortune telling cards fail to do. New horizons, upon reaching which a person will radically change his own life. Encouraging landmarks are already visible, but there is still a lot of effort, patience and hard work left to achieve them.

There is no need to rush, says the Six in the scenario for spiritual development, any haste will interfere with success. Caring for your own mind is more important than caring for your body or buying new things. Self-respect begins at the moment when a person ceases to feel his own superiority over others, and such conclusions will not become frightening for him.

The questioner, once on the right path, will no longer succumb to excitement or anxiety. Temporary, negative feelings will lose power over those who have gained control over life.

Tarot 6 of Swords in a reading that affects a person’s morale precedes getting rid of bad habits. Awareness of things or phenomena that do not bring benefit, but only take away precious time and vital energy, will contribute to liberation.

Tarot spread for personal relationships

Love relationships are just as important as professional success. Changes that cannot be avoided will affect both the inner and outer shell of a person. In a pair of lovers, if the Six from the suit of Swords appears in the scenario, many unresolved issues have accumulated.

Six of the Sword is a harbinger of separation, but not very painful

Now is the time to resolve differences and move forward boldly. Separations are also inevitable, but only in cases where it was not possible to rehabilitate close ties. There is no point in suffering over lost love; in its place, in the life of the person asking, new emotions and reasons for joy will appear.

What will the Six of the Sword say to a man without a partner?

For single people, a card with the image of six swords promises a long-awaited pleasant meeting, with the prospect of long-term alliances. You will have to cast aside doubts and accumulated internal complexes, and then boldly step towards new love. He who does not take risks in love matters exists, but does not live.

Is it possible to avoid the prophecy that the Six of the Sword will predict?

The outcome of the changes predicted by the Six is difficult to determine. They can bring new colors to life or darken everyday life with disappointments. In any case, change will be the final stage of a person as an individual. A person's subsequent actions will determine his fate. Mystical Tarot cards do not force one to believe in an unquestioning future, but they warn that knowledge of upcoming dangers should not be ignored.

Combination of Tarot cat deck and Six of Swords

The neighborhood of cards is not a random set of symbols, but an order invisible to the common man. Layouts that are made for a specific purpose do not carry extraneous information, so the reading of each symbol begins with its main characteristics and is supplemented by the influence of nearby cards of the Tarot deck. Significant unions of several mystical symbols:

Major Arcana Jester and Six

Tandem, meaning a pleasant long trip. The unknown is sometimes scary, but the combination of two strong factors indicates a pleasant travel experience. Isn't it time to pack your bags?

The Empress and the sixth card of Swords

The herald of difficulties in pregnancy overshadows the whole situation. The union of cards, which are favorable in nature, promises many health problems.

Page of Wands and Six

Moving to relatives is the main meaning of the union created by the Page card and the sixth symbol of Swords.

Major Arcana Emperor and Representative of Swords

A favorable combination of the two strongest symbols of the fortune-telling deck indicates a quick resolution of accumulated problems in personal and business life. Seeing the harmonious union of cards in the layout, the questioner gains hope.

The cards of the Tarot deck are a collection of symbols that have gone through thousands of years of history. Changes that will affect a person are predicted by one or more magical attribute cards. The sixth card of the suit of Swords promises metamorphoses, which directly depend on the will and aspirations of the questioner. It's time to stop looking back, because there are many exciting events and adventures ahead. The past is gone forever, and there is no point in wasting energy on it.

The 6 Swords tarot card sometimes misleads even an experienced professional: it has a variety of meanings that change depending on the layout and nearby cards. In order to understand the whole essence of the Tarot of 6 Swords, it is enough to spend some time studying the interpretations. You will find out right now what the Six of 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:

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 peace of mind;
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.

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, 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 alignment 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.

The Six of Swords points to changes that can help us reach new shores. As a "breakthrough" card, it sits somewhere between a hero's joyful performance (Chariot) and a sad farewell (Eight of Cups). Its specific meaning largely depends on ourselves - on whether we rejoice at the upcoming changes, whether we are waiting for them, or, on the contrary, we are afraid. In any case, it symbolizes the path to a new shore, for which, however, you will have to leave the old one. What awaits us ahead is unknown. Therefore, it also means the bitterness of farewell, uncertainty, fears and worries, but also a certain curiosity and interest in what will happen. It must be borne in mind that this “new shore” awaiting us ahead does not necessarily mean a physical movement from somewhere to somewhere; this could be discovering something new in oneself, learning new rules of the game, new norms of life, or getting to know other cultures and religions. In the I Ching book and in mythology, crossing water always means a step from multiplicity to singularity.

Job

"Virgin lands". This could be either dismissal and a move to another job, or the emergence of new tasks in the same place. In any case, the card shows that we will have to say goodbye to familiar activities and get acquainted with new ones, which usually inspires uncertainty, or even fear. If it were up to us, we would prefer to remain with at least one foot on the old shore until we get comfortable on the new one. However, the map shows us that parting with the old is a prerequisite, without which a new shore will not open to us. This transition always feels like a kind of “suspended” state, jitters, fear of failing the exam. However, as a rule, we can always count on the help of others, at least at first.

Consciousness

A gradual, careful approach to new ideas and concepts that were previously rather alien to us, usually under someone’s wise guidance. The rejection of old ideas and views, the “transition period”, the uncertainty of the first steps of acquaintance with the new - this is the main meaning of this card.

Personal relationships and love

Changes, both external and, perhaps, purely internal. Moreover, there can be any changes. For example, parting with a former partner and the path to a new shore. Or, conversely, parting with previous ideas (for example, about the inevitability of one’s own loneliness) and establishing truly strong relationships with a partner. In any case, we will have to part with the old, familiar norms of life in order to move on to new ones that are not yet familiar to us.

Inner meaning

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).

Mercury in Aquarius

10°—20° Aquarius

Original title: Lord of Deserved Success Initial composition in the Golden Dawn system: to the right and left, two hands are extended from the clouds, each of which holds three swords, similar to the daggers of Air - the weapons of the Junior Adept-Zealot. The swords converge in the center of the map. At the place where they intersect, a red rose with five petals blooms, emitting white rays

Tiferet color according to the Prince's scale: the color of juicy salmon
The colors of Mercury on four scales: yellow; purple; grey; indigo with purple streaks
The colors of Aquarius on four scales: violet; sky blue; bluish-lilac; white with a slight hint of purple
Formula: Six (Tiferet) + Swords (Yetzirah) + Mercury in Aquarius = SCIENCE.
In one of the chapters we were introduced to the small Rose and Cross, located in the center of the Hermetic symbol of the Rose and Cross. I confidently called them the “Rose and Cross of Genesis.” It is they who are placed in the center of the Six of Swords, where six identical and symmetrical blades converge, concentrating their analytical and discerning power on the mysteries of existence. This is Science. The austere beauty of this card suggests that the radiant balance of Tiphareth imbues the suit of Swords with a much-needed dose of nobility and sobriety.

The formula that determines the character of the card could not be more favorable for the suit of Swords. The analogue of the world of Yetzirah in the human soul is Ruach, that is, reason. On the Tree of Life, the center of Ruach is Tiphereth.

And finally, Mercury, the airy planet, finds itself here in a fixed Air sign, Aquarius. From an astrological point of view, those with Mercury in Aquarius are distinguished by a keen analytical mind and extraordinary powers of concentration. In addition, they are extremely inquisitive and tend to look at every issue from different angles. In a word, these are real scientists.

Description of the lasso

When we carry the weight of what we should and shouldn't do, imposed on us by others, we become like that ragged, struggling man trying to climb a mountain. "Go faster, go harder, get to the top!" - shouts the stupid tyrant, whom he carries on his shoulders.

Straight position

If right now you feel like life is a struggle from cradle to grave, maybe it's time to square your shoulders and see if you're better off without that guy on your shoulders. You have your own peaks to conquer, your dreams to make them come true, but you will never have enough energy to do it until you free yourself from all the expectations that you have collected from others and now consider your own. They may exist in your mind, but that doesn't mean they can't weigh on you. It's time to let go of the heaviness and invite them to go their own way.

The meaning of the card

The true life of a person is the path in which he frees himself from the lies imposed on him by others. Disarmed, naked, natural, he is who he is. It is a matter of being, not becoming. A lie cannot become the truth, a personality cannot become your soul. It is impossible to make the inessential essential. The unimportant remains unimportant, and the essential remains essential, they are irreversible. The pursuit of truth is nothing more than creating more confusion. There is no need to reach the truth. It cannot be achieved, it already exists. You just need to drop the lies. All goals, ideals, ideologies, religions, corrections, improvements are lies. Beware of them. Become aware of the fact that in your current state you are a lie, manipulated and cultivated by others. To pursue the truth is to be distracted and procrastinate. This is how you hide the lie. See it, look at the lies of your personality. Seeing a lie means stopping lying. To stop lying means to no longer seek the truth. The moment lies disappear, truth will arise in all its beauty and radiance. When you see a lie, it disappears, and what remains is the truth. (Osho)
