Six of Swords

Six of Swords

Six of Swords

passagetransitionleaving

A boat carries figures across calm water to a distant shore; transition begins.

Upright meaning

upright · core

A figure punts a boat across still water; passengers sit silently, six swords planted in the boat. The Six of Swords is the transitional card — moving from rough water to calmer, often carrying the weight of where you came from. The far shore is real.

Reversed meaning

reversed · shadow

Stuck in transition; refusing the passage; or the boat finally launching.
