When the Six of Swords appear, you may have come through a turbulent phase of mental stress. Although you may still feel vulnerable and raw, you can rest assured that the worst is over. The storm has passed, and you have navigated your way to safety. You may have been working through emotional or mental healing, perhaps with the guidance of a counsellor or mentor.

 

This card suggests that you are leaving your worries behind you and can now move on. It may also indicate traveling away literally, usually across the water. You could be taking a well-deserved break or a holiday to unwind. If your relationships have been under a lot of strain lately, or work has been stressful, a trip away might be all you need to relieve the pressure.

 

This movement may relate to a house move or relocation overseas. Whatever the card refers to, it offers long-term relief from struggles and obstacles. There's a strong sense of restoring peace, and your mind will become clearer and more in control.
