Six of Swords
Suit of Swords · air
The Six of Swords is the quiet crossing away from troubled waters toward calmer ground. The grief is carried along, not erased — but movement itself is the medicine, a mindful passage from what hurt toward what can heal.
The image
A ferryman poles a boat carrying a cloaked figure and child across calm water toward a distant shore; six swords stand upright in the hull, the water rough on one side and smooth on the other.
