Six of Swords TAROT CARD MEANINGS AND DESCRIPTION

In the Six of Swords, a sly-looking man picks up three swords from the ground. He glances over his shoulder at two men who are walking away with their shoulders slouched, conveying a sense of sadness and loss. Two more swords are strewn across the grass, suggesting a battle has been fought and lost. The sky is cloudy and tumultuous, a sign that not all is well even though the fighting has stopped.

NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.
