Six of Swords (Reversed) | Tarot Card of the Day
“What feels stuck?”
Six of Swords (Reversed) | Tarot Card
If the Six of Swords appears reversed, it directs your attention to what currently feels stuck.
People get stuck when they habitually avoid the discomfort that naturally accompanies change. Don’t allow the discomfort of “growing pains” trick you into avoiding changes and taking risks toward your goals. Discomfort does not mean something is wrong, it means something is growing or changing. The choppy waters in front of the boat are rough, but the waters behind the boat are smooth. This indicates that you can always change the energy on the path in front of you, from rough to smooth by your willingness to leave your comfort zone.

What must you leave behind?
Where is the energy of change flowing in your life? What destination do you have in mind?
The Six of Swords represents a significant transition in life, such as a change in career, moving, leaving relationships, or traveling. This card suggests that the changes you are experiencing will lead you to a better place, and it's best to go with the flow and surrender to where life's momentum is taking you. By doing so, you'll quickly arrive at a safe harbor.
If you're experiencing a period of transition, ask yourself where the energy of change is flowing in your life and what destination you have in mind. Remember that change can be accompanied by temporary discomfort, and it's normal to feel unsure of your footing during these times. However, the Six of Swords reminds you that these changes are for the better, and it's important to leave behind past troubles and focus on the promise of a brighter future.
Imagine that you are the ferryman in the card. On your journey you need to propel the boat forward by placing your oar into the river. Anticipate moments when the oar will periodically feel stuck in the mud. Your strength and determination can pull the oar free, allowing you to propel the boat forward again. Getting the boat moving again after being stuck is the tough part. However, once it gains momentum, the journey becomes easier.
The Six of Swords reversed urges you to pull your oar free.
It may feel that things are stuck but this is an illusion. Stop fighting the waves and allow your best transformation. Sail over the temporary choppy waters. The promise of a safe harbor lies ahead. Anything in your life that feels stuck can become unstuck. However, you must accept the temporary discomfort of changing it.
