Six of Quills (Six of Swords)
Tarot card meaning
A card of change for the better. Movement, travel, improvement, moving to new shores. Maybe an escape, moving toward a better life. Time to move forward.
Money and work
Changing jobs, moving to a new position, relocating, a business trip, or a smooth way out of a long crisis and debt. Things start to settle down, the chaos is left behind.
Love and relationships
Leaving a toxic relationship. Making up after a bad fight through an honest, constructive talk. A calm period for the couple, or a long-distance relationship where the partners get past obstacles for the sake of a shared future.
Personal growth
Mental release, relief after the storm you’ve been through. Letting go of grudges and the victim mindset. Slowly getting your peace of mind back, hope for a better future.
Choices and decisions
A decision to leave behind what was dragging you down and set out into the unknown for the sake of calm and safety. A conscious choice to change and move forward.
Hidden motives
The person wants to get away from problems or conflicts, is looking for quiet and peace, and is ready to slowly put distance between themselves and the negativity and move toward safer shores.
From the wider tradition
Not Tahmina’s own words: meanings common among other tarot readers, which she has reviewed and approved.
- A boat moving from rough water to calm water — the shift from storm to calm.
- A journey over water, emigration, moving far away.
- Someone helps with the crossing (the ferryman); the sadness is still there, but the worst is over.
