"Transition isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
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.

Six of Swords for Pisces in Health and Energy
The Dreamer
Swords are the air suit, so the Six of Swords sits in Libra. Libra and Pisces are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Pisces already operates. What it wants is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
When reading about health through a Pisces lens, the Six of Swords says that you feel like your body is a signal you can ignore, pain is something to numb or postpone until it screams, and admitting you're suffering feels like complaining or demanding too much. This has either kept you functional through crisis by numbing out completely, or meant that by the time you pay attention the problem has grown teeth. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Pisces blind spot in it is the moment they have to stop being useful and admit they're drowning.
In practice that can look like anxiety with a real cause. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
