“Do not look back to the past and feel sad. Move forward in life. A bright future is waiting for you.“

The six of swords card represents progress, change, and moving on in life. The card shows the image of a woman and a child being rowed across to nearby land. The woman’s posture indicates her sadness as if she is leaving something behind. The child sitting beside her looks for a comfortable and safe journey together. The erected six swords suggest that both have not forgotten their past and carrying it with them in the future.

The water suggests that they had a tumultuous past, but the future is bound to be peaceful and supportive. The ducks are symbolic of family, love, vigilance, intuition, self-expression, and protection. The appearance of six of swords suggests a state of transition, a movement from known to unknown.

You might be feeling tired of moving houses, leaving a relationship, or shifting jobs. Whether the change is by your choice or forced on you, you are sad to leave familiar things and places for things that are yet unknown to you. However, for growth and process, one has to change. Do not worry. The feelings of worry will soon be replaced with joy and contentment. The acceptance brings mental clarity.

You have to leave the baggage of the past behind and set your eyes on the future. You have to make tough decisions and make compromises to evolve and gain a better position in life. See the swords as a warning to leave relationships, ideas, thoughts, emotions, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve you. Decide what you want to take with you in the future and what should be left behind.
