Six of Swordsfor Virgo
"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 Virgo
The Analyst
Virgo is an Earth mutable sign ruled by Mercury, whose natural subject is work, routine, health, service, the daily how. Swords are the air suit, so the Six of Swords sits in Libra. Libra sits directly beside Virgo, 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. Virgo is mutable: it adapts, and this card is in the middle, where adapting can quietly become avoiding. The card works in ideas where the sign deals in what is physically in front of it. The idea will not survive without a concrete first step. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
