Six of Swords

Crossing to calmer water.

The image

A ferryman poles a boat across water toward a calmer shore; a hooded woman and a child sit huddled in it, six swords standing upright in the boat.

Keywords: transition, moving on, healing

Light side

You are moving away from difficulty toward calmer water. Accepting help and taking the journey slowly can bring relief.

Shadow side

You can carry the swords with you into the new place. Leaving does not heal if you never look at what you brought along.

Drawing Six of Swords in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• What are you carrying with you as you move on, and what could you leave on the shore?
• What does "Six of Swords" show you about your square?
• If "Six of Swords" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Six of Swords" in your life right now?
