Six of Swords

Six of SwordsWelcome to season 8 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Swords. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.What we explore in this episode:The Six of Swords as a card of movement, transition, and quiet emotional processingSymbolism across decks: movement, moving on, transition, journeys, waterWhy this card can feel like being “in between” change and the pull of new possibilitiesThe importance of surrendering to life’s momentum and not carrying old emotional baggagePictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia BurringtonThe Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. WilliamsTherapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca BloomIn this episode, we explore how the Six of Swords invites us to cross emotional thresholds, even if we’re not quite sure what’s on the other side. It represents the discomfort and necessary movement of growth, the part of the journey where we’re no longer stuck but not yet fully arrived. It asks: Can you trust the momentum? Can you let go of what weighs you down? Are you ready to follow the pull of something new, even if it’s unfamiliar?This card reminds us that the shift is already happening. We’re on the road, boat, or metaphorical journey, and what’s ahead holds potential for deeper alignment, healing, and clarity.If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!Season 1 - Tarot basicsSeasons 2 & 3 - Major Arcana and 4 suitsSeason 4 - Tarot in Pop CultureSeason 5 - Tarot SpreadsSeason 6 - Suit of WandsSeason 7 - Suit of PentaclesToday's Tarot Pull:From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Guide (upright).
