Six of Swords

The image · A ferryman poles a small boat carrying a cloaked mother and child toward the far shore; six swords stand in the boat.

Upright

You're leaving a bad state behind and heading somewhere calmer. The journey isn't over, but the hardest part is past.

Reversed, you want to go but can't let go, or you've brought the old baggage onto the boat.

In love, coming out of a low point, slowly recovering; reversed, tend old wounds before starting anew.

At work, a transition or change of setting; reversed, don't carry old problems into a new place.

Upright · Leaning yesYou're moving toward calmer waters — the direction is right.

Reversed · Leaning noAn old issue is unresolved; carrying it along won't get you ashore.

Yes / No is only this card's leaning — the decision is yours.

They want to leave the hard times behind and find calmer ground with you.

Leave what exhausts you; take only what you need.

In leaving, what do you want to leave on the shore?
