Six of Swords
Upright: Transition, change, rite of passage, releasing baggage
Reversed: Personal transition, resistance to change, unfinished business
Six of Swords shows that you are in a state of transition, leaving behind what was familiar and moving towards the unknown. You might be moving out of a house, leaving a relationship, changing jobs, going through a rite of passage or a mental shift. This change may be your own doing or forced upon you, and you may feel sad to leave behind what is so familiar to you. However, you know this move is essential for your growth and personal development. Six of Swords invites you to let go of whatever is holding you back-your past or your present circumstances. Instead, look ahead to your future and choose the way most in alignment with your Highest Good and long-term potential.
Similarly, Six of Swords asks you to reflect on any emotional or mental baggage you may carry. In the boat are six upstanding swords, or Mexican daggers-and three ravens/crows which represent death (a nod to Dia de los Muertos). Whether an actual physical death/grief or ending/change, Six of Swords is a sign you are still carrying a heavy weight from your past as you move forward, which might slow your personal growth.
The biggest problem for Aquarius-born is the feeling they are limited or constrained. In Six of Swords there is a regretful but necessary transition, a rite of passage. Aquarius dislikes limitations, broken promises, being lonely, or people who disagree with them. These 'swords' may be grief, memories, relationships, habits, behaviors, thought patterns or beliefs that are no longer serving you. Decide what you need to take with you and what you can leave behind.
