The Six of Swords card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

Swords

Six of Swords

transition · moving on · calmer water

Upright

A quiet crossing toward somewhere better, with the swords still in the boat. The Six is leaving a bad stretch behind: sad rather than triumphant, and carrying what you learned rather than pretending none of it happened.

Reversed

Reversed, the move has stalled, or was made without dealing with what prompted it, so the same trouble quietly reassembles on the far shore.

If this is your card this month

What are you moving away from, and what's coming with you?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If Six of Swords arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
