What this card is saying about what's behind you
You left something difficult behind, and the crossing wasn't easy. The Six of Swords in the past points to a transition — a relationship, a city, a version of yourself — where you got in the boat with the six swords and let yourself be ferried toward calmer water. The steadiness you have now was built by making that passage.
A ferryman carrying passengers in his punt to the further shore. The course is smooth, and seeing that the freight is light. Swords represents knowledge and the six card represents harmony. Together the six of swords represents the end of a longstanding issue and the start of a more balanced life.
A journey (perhaps by or near water) offers you a calm break from a turbulent time. You are healing from old wounds. Romantically maybe you have truly moved on from an unhappy relationship (or rough patch) and can now start to heal. At work you might be wrapping up a hard project and having a bit of welcome slower time.
Your healing journey is blocked (perhaps you are standing still or perhaps you are moving too fast). Romantically, don't run into a new persons arms or cut yourself off from love completely. Walk with purpose, but allow yourself to take in the wonderful world around you.
