Six of Swords
Relationship in the discerning mind
The card
The pendulum of the swords that swings between creating ideas and destroying them now swings toward the more comforting, welcoming end. The Six of Swords represents the intellectual underpinnings of art, poetry, and the enlightened mind.
More stable and a bit more complex than the IV, this card’s more positive hallmarks include artful debate amongst intellectual peers and a meeting of minds. Also be sure to heed the warning of this card to not be consumed by decorous aestheticism or intellectual narcissism.
What becomes possible through a more balanced relationship through thought, language, conflict, and decision?

The archetype in motion
Opposing or separated parts seek a more mature exchange and a workable harmony. Here it moves through thought, language, conflict, and decision. Its gift becomes available when the reader can hold both its conscious expression and the less comfortable possibility carried in its shadow.
