Six of Swords

transition · moving on · calmer waters

You are leaving rough waters behind. The journey brings relief.

Love
Moving through a difficult time toward peace.
Work and money
A move, change of job or travel for the better.
Reversed
A move that stalls, or carrying the old trouble with you. Lighten the boat.

Tarot is a mirror for reflection, not a forecast. For timing in marriage or career, your kundli says far more.
