Six of Swords

Traditionally, this card speaks of leaving behind a current situation—but its symbolism can extend to many forms of “transport.” The scene emphasizes movement, whether physical, emotional, or metaphorical. It may represent long-distance travel (relocating oneself), transporting others (acting as a driver), moving goods (courier/logistics), or transferring information (media, forex, communication work). When reading this card, it’s helpful to expand interpretation beyond fixed meanings—as long as the essence of “transition” remains central.

The swords feature the symbols for Mercury and Aquarius on their hilts. The background blends mist and dawn, signifying both uncertainty and hope.
