The "Sixes" in the Tarot Deck reflect the fact
that six is located at the centre of the Kabbalist Tree of Life - which
implies harmony and communication.
In some decks the Six of Swords is one of the more postive cards
in the suit of Swords. However, interpretations of this card - both
in terms of how it is illustrated and in terms of how its meaning is
interpreted vary widely from deck to deck. The theme of this card is
"potential for, and progress towards growth".
In the Rider-Waite and Robin
Wood Decks the six of swords depicts one or more people being
taken across a stretch of water - the person or spirit proprelling
the vessel seems to be punting across the water - which implies that
the depth is relatively shallow. This could be a lake, river or ocean.
Eiother way, the journey is not random but purposeful - perhaps to
start a new life in a new place or set of circumstances.
