Six of Swords tarot card

"Transition isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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.

Upright
TransitionMoving OnLeaving BehindGradual Healing

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.

Reversed

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.

The numbers tell a story inside each suit, from a seed at the Ace to the full expression at Ten. Six is the recovery: movement after the loss, with the loss still in the room.

Six of Swords for Scorpio in Money and Wealth

The Transformer

Swords are the air suit, so the Six of Swords sits in Libra. Libra sits directly beside Scorpio, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.

When reading about money through a Scorpio lens, the Six of Swords says that you feel like money is your only guarantee of privacy, a problem to solve (or avoid), and something that must be accumulated before you can breathe. This has either led to you building a quiet security that no one can touch, or to you spending on the people you fiercely love because safety feels like a lie anyway. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.

In practice that can look like reading the actual number, or a decision made on paper instead of in your head. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
