The Six of Swords is a card of retreat and renewal. It's time to cut ties with individuals who no longer serve your highest and best interest. The water may be choppy as you make your escape but the Six of Swords promises stable ground is just ahead.

The Six of Swords tells you to change those habits that are eating away at your capacity to be industrious. While the road will be rocky and chock full of obstacles, now would be the right time to begin to cut off the fat, so to speak. Good habits are hard to come by and take time to solidify within our psyche, so the sooner you start to foster them, the better.

The worst is over and now it is time to seek a safe haven and mend our wounds. The Six of Swords asks you to leave the past behind you and move forward. Although healing requires a certain level of fortitude and may be painful throughout the process, the liberation provided by the end result is worth the fleeting torment.
