The Six of Swords Represents a Calmer Times after Turbulence --
a Period of Recovery

Sometimes this card represents a dull, listless state.
Nothing is seriously wrong, but nothing is really right either.
You're getting by, but not thriving.
Life is indeed uninteresting when we feel the blues

In a more positive view,
the Six of Swords can indicate recovery
This is especially true when you have just experienced a tough time or psychological blow. During the crisis, you felt numb and disconnected; nothing mattered at all.
Now you are beginning to heal and pick up the pieces of your life.
The travelers in our boat are at least moving forward.
They are headed toward a new place, even if they are not yet
ready to eagerly embrace those shores.

In fact, the Six of Swords can indicate travel and moves of all kinds.
This could mean an actual change of scene, relocation or trip,
But Not Necessarily....
A journey can also take place on the inner planes as we move
from one frame of mind to another.

When you see this card....
know that even though the situation is not ideal, you are moving
toward a more positive place. Change is in the air, and new,
more hopeful conditions lie ahead.

Reversed

No Change
No Progress
No Solutions to Troubles.
No Way Out of Present Obstacles or Difficulties
Feeling Despondent and Powerless to affect Change
Being Caught in a Vicious Cycle of Worry.
Stalemate
Developments that are Unexpected
Hard Times Coming, Moving into Rough Waters
Once One Obstacle is Surmounted Another Presents itself
Need for Continuing Effort and Strength
Delay in travel
