Water's Role and Journey
Water has an important role in this card. The passengers are ferrying themselves and their belongings across a river from rough water to smooth. They are determined to make a change in their lives and are not going back. They have recognized what isn’t working in their lives and have accepted it and, in accepting, have created the opportunity for change. Good for them. They are going from rough waters to smooth—literally. Look at the figures in the front, hunched over and covered in blankets. The swords are acting as a shield for them. They’re protected in the back by the man who is rowing them to safety. They are pointed toward new opportunities and growth—and they just need to keep going.
Six of Swords Inverted
Stuck, stuck, stuck. The thing that keeps us from moving into the future is usually baggage we’re dragging around from the past. Let it go. It no longer serves you, and it’s getting in your way and keeping you from seeing what the world has in store for you. It’s exhausting and a waste of time. Move on.
