Known also as the Lord of Earned Success, and aligned with Mercury in Aquarius, the Six of Swords brings respite after a period of difficulty. Mercury represents ideas and movement, while Aquarius represents innovation, science and originality. Mercury in Aquarius therefore, brings an innovation and fresh perspective on our ideas about our world.
This card brings a transition from struggle and strain to ease and joy - a journey from stormy waters to a safe harbour, which allows you to recover and review past choices and beliefs. Often just a small shift is needed in our perception and even in our ways of communicating with others to bring about a massive transformation in our relationships, both personal and transpersonal.
This card can mark a journey that involves you getting away from it all, taking a respite from troubles, routine and responsibilities. Often there is travel over water, and to be sure it is to a different atmosphere that allows you to escape events that have narrowed your focus and made you believe that your options were limited. By a change of scenery and company, you are able to see that there are many ways to deal with problems and perhaps your perceived problems were not so all-encompassing after all.
This period of time allows you to engage in innovative thinking, and to come up with solutions, a new way of doing things that you have never thought of before but which provides the perfect solution for your desires and situation at this time. Your ability to access different levels of mind and different meanings to events in your life give you access now to move you out of the ruts you have previously found yourself in.
The time is now to connect with and trust your insight and follow where that may lead - you will learn something surprising and valuable about yourself.
