Six of Swords
This card shows us a Pixie that is slowly flying away, loosely gripping a sword that they will perhaps be letting go of... leaving it behind them with the other swords. You may be going through a change or transition at this time. Perhaps this change has not exactly brought you happiness, but it is necessary for growth. Sometimes we are met with difficult choices, or are even forced to follow through with a change that we didn't want or ask for. Just know that whatever this choice is, be it one you made or one that was put on you, it is for your greatest good and you will come out stronger.
Card in Reverse:
The Six of Swords in reverse can tell us that you may be returning to something that was not necessarily serving you. It could be a person, a habit, a way of thinking... Change can often be uncomfortable, which can sometimes make us want to return to something that feels comfortable. But just because it's comfortable, doesn't always mean that it is what is best.
This card can also mean you are stuck in a certain place and/or situation that may be difficult for you to get through. It can also indicate that you are running away from something rather than facing it head on. Running away from difficult matters doesn't help us in the end. It will just prolong the inevitable.
