Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another one of my little experiments. Today, we’re diving into the world of tarot, specifically looking at the Six of Swords reversed and what it means in a “yes or no” reading. Trust me, this one got a bit weird.
So, picture this: I woke up this morning with this burning question in my head. You know, one of those things that just nags at you until you do something about it. I grabbed my trusty tarot deck, the one I’ve been using for years, and decided to get to the bottom of this whole Six of Swords thing.
First, I shuffled the deck, really getting into the zone. I always like to take my time with this, making sure I’m fully present and connected to the cards. Then, I laid them out in a simple spread, focusing on my question: “Is this new project I’m thinking about gonna fly?”

Boom! There it was, the Six of Swords, but flipped upside down. Now, I’ve seen this card before, usually it means moving on, progress, all that good stuff. But reversed? That’s a whole different ball game. It’s like the universe saying, “Hold up, buddy, not so fast.”
I started digging into my notes, flipping through my dog-eared tarot books. This card, when it’s reversed, it’s all about resistance to change, feeling stuck, not being able to move forward. It’s like trying to swim upstream – you’re putting in all this effort, but you’re not really getting anywhere. There’s even mentioning about Two of Swords that is the card of difficult choices, feeling stuck in the middle, stalemates. Unlike its upright position, the Two of Swords reversed in a tarot reading signifies a pivotal moment of decision-making and the resolution of inner conflicts.
I sat there for a good while, just staring at the card. My mind was racing, trying to connect the dots between the card’s meaning and my situation. Was I resisting something? Was I clinging to old ways of doing things? And about my project?
- Journaled like crazy: I grabbed my notebook and just started writing. Everything that came to mind, all my doubts, fears, and anxieties. Just getting it all out on paper helped me see things more clearly.
- Meditated on it: I lit a candle, put on some calming music, and just sat with the card. I closed my eyes and let the imagery of the card wash over me, trying to tap into my intuition.
- Talked it out: I called up my best friend, the one who’s always down for a good tarot chat. We bounced ideas back and forth, and she helped me see some things I might have been missing.
Here’s what I did:
After all that, I finally started to get a sense of what the Six of Swords reversed was trying to tell me. It wasn’t a straight “no,” but it definitely wasn’t a “yes” either. It was more like a “proceed with caution,” which makes me resist to moving on.
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? I think it’s about being honest with myself, recognizing my own resistance to change, and figuring out what’s really holding me back. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the biggest obstacles we face are the ones we create for ourselves.
Anyway, that’s my story. It’s not always easy to face the messages the cards give us, but it’s always worth it. I’ll keep you all updated on how things progress. Until next time, keep shuffling and stay curious!
