- transition
- moving on
- calmer waters
- passage
A quiet ferry toward calmer waters, the rough coast behind. The Six of Swords is transition carrying both relief and grief — leaving is right even when it isn't easy.

- unfinished business
- reluctant leaving
- dragged cargo
The boat circles the shore. Unfinished business, a move resisted, old patterns smuggled aboard in the luggage. Cross or return knowingly — drifting is the only bad choice.
