Six of Swords as a person
A quiet traveller through hard times: someone who has been through a rough stretch and is steadily getting themselves to safer ground. They tend to be practical about change, low on drama, and good company during transitions.

As a person, reversed
In its shadow this card shows someone who cannot quite leave, carrying old baggage into every new situation or turning back just before arrival. They may talk about change without making it. Patience helps, but so does honesty about what they are holding on to.
Their strengths
At best this person brings transition, passage and moving on.
In love
A passage from rough water to calm: a relationship moving past a hard chapter, or leaving one behind for safer shores. The journey is quiet and a little sad and heading the right way.
At work
A transition: leaving a difficult job for calmer water, a career move that is quiet and necessary, a team moving past a rough patch. The journey is subdued and heading the right way.
As feelings
Moving on, gently, is the tone of these feelings. This person may be letting go of a difficult chapter, possibly with you or possibly elsewhere, and heading toward something calmer. Feelings here are subdued rather than dramatic, and there can be a sober kind of hope in them.
