If the Six of Swords appears in a tarot reading, you are walking away from a situation that no longer serves you or a situation that has been weighing heavily on you. You are heading towards a place of peace and calm, and you are able to move forward, free from the burden you carried for so long. You might be leaving a relationship, leaving a house or apartment, or quitting a job or profession so that you may head towards a better life. You are also ready to heal and reconnect with your authentic self and your authentic essence.
On the positive side, the Six of Swords tarot card represents making progress. This usually happens because you feel like you have finally arrived at a place of acceptance. You might have finally worked out the kinks in your relationship, resolved a conflict, or released yourself from your addictions, and you can now enjoy a sense of calm and freedom.
You have left the old you far behind, and you are a new and improved version of yourself. Even if you have traveled only a short distance, you can already feel the relief and freedom that comes with your release.
