Okay, so today I decided to mess around with the 6 of Swords in the Tarot. I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately, like I’m in a mental fog, and the 6 of Swords often pops up when you’re moving away from a tough situation, toward something better, even if it’s a bit sad or uncertain.
First, I grabbed my favorite deck – the one with the really dreamy artwork. I shuffled the cards while thinking about what’s been weighing on my mind. It’s mostly work stuff, you know, feeling uninspired and a little lost.
I laid out a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, Future. Just wanted a quick overview, nothing too fancy. And guess what? The 6 of Swords landed smack-dab in the “Present” position. Seriously, it was almost comical.
I spent a good few minutes just staring at the card. It shows this figure in a boat, being ferried across calm water. They look kinda sad, hunched over, but there’s also this feeling of… peace? Like they’re leaving something behind, but it’s necessary.
My Interpretation (For Me, Today)
- Past: I’ve definitely been struggling. I’ve put in time effort into something.
- Present (6 of Swords): Time to move on. It’s okay to feel a little down about it, but it’s the right thing to do. I need to mentally let go of the old way of doing things.
- Future: This card was actually pretty positive! It suggests that if I embrace this “moving on” energy, things will get better. Maybe a new opportunity, or just a clearer headspace.
After the reading, I did some journaling. I wrote down all the things I’m ready to “leave behind” in that metaphorical boat. Old projects, self-doubt, the pressure to be perfect… all that junk. It felt really good to get it out of my head and onto paper.
Then, to really solidify this “moving forward” vibe, I decided to clean up my workspace. Seriously, it was a disaster zone. I cleared off my desk, organized my files, and even lit a nice-smelling candle. Small things, but they made a difference.
The whole process wasn’t about magically fixing everything. It was more about acknowledging where I’m at (stuck), accepting that it’s time to move on (6 of Swords), and taking small steps to create a more positive, forward-looking energy in my life. It’s a work in progress, but today, I feel a little lighter, a little more hopeful. And honestly, that’s a win.
