Six of Swords Tarotscope for 31 January to 8 February

What’s a Tarotscope? It’s a way we can make predictions with the tarot and the stars. This is essentially your tarot reading combined with your horoscope for the next ten days. So if you’re seeing this in early February 2025, this is your forecast for the first 10 days of the month. But, if you’re reading this post at another time – don’t worry—this reading is for you now! The Six of Swords has shown up for a reason and has a message. So, let’s see what this card is all about and what it means for you.

The Cosmos Aligns to Support You

We have now entered Aquarius II, the second decan of Aquarius season, spanning from January 30 to February 8, ruled by Mercury. This period is all about communication, innovation, and quick thinking. Mercury, the planet of ideas, is helping you figure things out and solve problems. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough, this could be the time!

Yesterday, on January 30, Uranus stationed direct in Taurus, ending its retrograde that began in September 2024. If you’ve been feeling stuck, especially in financial or security-related matters, this shift is unlocking long-awaited progress. Expect sudden insights, surprising changes, and forward momentum in areas where you’ve been seeking clarity.

Tomorrow, on February 1Venus and Neptune will make a gorgeous conjunction in Pisces, bringing dreamy, romantic energy. You could have a deep, meaningful conversation with someone special or feel artistically inspired. If you’re in a creative field, this aspect is pure magic—one of the most beautiful alignments for creativity and connection.

New Beginnings & Fresh Starts

In just a few days, Jupiter, the great benefic, will station direct on February 4—a major turning point! If you’ve felt like plans were stalled or opportunities were slow to arrive, things will start moving forward. Jupiter brings abundance and expansion, so stay open to a lucky break or exciting opportunity that could set you on a new path.

The First Quarter Moon on February 5 will encourage you to take action—this will be a pivotal moment to make decisions and push forward with an important goal. We recently had a New Moon in Aquarius on January 29, a moment that planted the seeds of innovation and change. Even more powerfully, Chinese New Year arrived on January 29, ushering in the Year of the Wood Snake—a year focused on wisdom, strategy, and transformation.

The energy is highly supportive of fresh starts and bold new directions, making this the perfect time to take the first big step toward something new—whether it’s a personal goal, a career shift, or a creative endeavour.

Your Tarot Card

In the Six of Swords, you will see a man steers a small board with a woman and a child as passengers. Six swords stand prominently within the boat. The water to the left of the boat is calm, signifying that you are sailing towards calmer waters. The water to the right is rough. This represents where you are during this time. There is still a journey ahead of you but the worst is over and behind you now. You have an opportunity for a new beginning and a fresh start. 

This card often signifies a necessary transition—whether physical, emotional, or mental. Things have been really hard but you are now leaving behind struggles, releasing the past, and stepping toward a new chapter. While the journey may not be easy, the Six of Swords reassures you that brighter days are ahead. It’s a card of healing, personal growth, and finding peace after hardship, so take heart.

In Tarot, the suit of Swords symbolises our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Connected to the element of air, it represents intellect, mental clarity, and communication. The number 6 in numerology is associated with transition, harmony, and progress—and with the Six of Swords, you have figured out how to change or leave a very challenging situation. You have put your mind to it and solved the problem. You know what to do to make things better. This is why the Golden Dawn called this card, The Lord of Earned Success

Tarotscope

Over the next 10 days, you’ll feel the energy of the Six of Swords and its connection to Mercury in Aquarius, amplified by the astrology of these days. This is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. The cosmos is aligned to help you move forward, release the past, and embrace a new chapter with clarity and confidence.

With Uranus now direct, long-awaited progress is unfolding, helping you break free from stagnation and see new paths ahead. The Venus-Neptune conjunction on February 1 will bring inspiration, emotional healing, and intuitive guidance, making it easier to trust where you’re being led. Jupiter stationing direct on February 4 restores optimism and forward momentum, reinforcing the sense that you’re moving toward something better, even if the full picture isn’t clear yet.

The First Quarter Moon on February 5 encourages you to take action, making this the perfect moment to step into a transition phase with confidence. You may find yourself mentally or physically moving on from something that no longer serves you, whether it’s a situation, belief, or way of thinking. The Six of Swords says you that while change can be bittersweet, trust the journey. You are on your way to something new, something better, and something truly aligned with your highest path. ✨

Guidance for the Coming Days

Just generally speaking, the Six of Swords can literally mean overseas or to travel across water. This card can symbolise any kind of journey across water. It often comes up to represent any kind of boat or watercraft, anything designed for travel on or through water. This includes boats, ships, ferries, jet skis, canoes, submarines, and other floating or submersible vehicles. Watercraft can be powered by engines, sails, paddles, or oars, and they are used for transportation, recreation, military, or commercial purposes. Anything from a canoe to a cruise! If you have a holiday booked, enjoy your time on the water, the time may be a healing experience for you. 🛳️

Work

The Six of Swords in career, work, and study suggests a period of transition and forward movement. If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by challenges, this is a sign that things are shifting in a positive direction. You may be leaving behind a stressful work environment, adjusting to a new role, or finally making progress on a long-standing project. If there has been conflict or strife at work, it looks like there will be a peaceful resolution during this time.

For those seeking a job or career change, this is a time to trust that you are heading toward something better. While the transition may not be instant, each step you take now is bringing you closer to a more fulfilling and stable professional path. If you’ve been questioning your direction, Mercury in Aquarius encourages innovative thinking, networking, and embracing new opportunities—so stay open to unexpected career shifts or fresh ideas that could lead to success.

In academics or personal development, this is a phase of mental clarity and focus. You’re moving past confusion and doubt, gaining a clearer sense of direction in your studies or learning journey. If you’ve recently struggled with motivation, distractions, or feeling overwhelmed, this card reassures you that you’re regaining balance. 📚

Money

The Six of Swords in money and finances indicates a gradual improvement in financial stability. If you’ve been experiencing financial stress or uncertainty, this is a sign that relief is on the way. You may be moving on from a difficult financial period, paying off debt, or gaining clarity on how to manage your resources more effectively. While this transition may not be instant, you are making steady progress toward greater security and peace of mind.

With Mercury in Aquarius active, this is a time to think strategically, research new financial opportunities, and make logical decisions about money. You may need to cut ties with unwise spending habits, restructure your budget, or explore alternative income sources. The Venus-Neptune conjunction on February 1 suggests that investments in creative or spiritual pursuits could be beneficial, while Jupiter stationing direct on February 4 opens the door to new income opportunities or financial growth.

By the Full Moon in Leo on February 12, you may see a financial breakthrough, recognition for your hard work, or a shift in confidence around money matters. This is a time to step into your power financially, trust your decisions, and embrace new opportunities that lead to greater abundance. Keep moving forward—this is a period of long-term financial progress and smarter money management. 💰

Health

The Six of Swords in health indicates a period of recovery, healing, and positive change. If you’ve been dealing with physical exhaustion, stress, or emotional strain, this card reassures you that you are moving toward a healthier state. While progress may feel slow, each step you take is leading to greater balance, well-being, and peace of mind. Now is the time to prioritise rest, self-care, and mental clarity to support your body’s healing process.

With Mercury in Aquarius influencing this period, mental health and stress management are especially important. You may feel the need to detach from toxic situations, break old habits, or adopt new routines that promote a healthier lifestyle. The Venus-Neptune conjunction on February 1 encourages gentle, holistic healing approaches, such as meditation, creative therapy, or spiritual wellness practices. Meanwhile, Jupiter stationing direct on February 4 supports long-term health improvements and positive lifestyle changes.

By the Full Moon in Leo on February 12, you may notice a boost in energy, confidence, or motivation to take better care of yourself. This is a time to celebrate progress, acknowledge your strength, and continue making choices that support your well-being. Whether you’re recovering from stress, illness, or emotional burnout, trust that you are on the path to greater health and vitality. 🌿

Love

I often see the Six of Swords in love readings when your beloved in overseas or far away. Sometimes this can be working abroad or a military deployment. It can also represent the person coming home to you, which is very good news when you are missing someone greatly.

The Six of Swords in love suggests a transition period—a time of healing, moving forward, and leaving behind emotional turbulence. If you’ve been experiencing conflict, uncertainty, or heartbreak, this card signals that the storm is passing, and you’re heading toward calmer, more stable emotional waters. This is a time for healing and reconciliation in your relationships, and for soulmates to return.

If you’re single, the Six of Swords encourages you to let go of past disappointments and open your heart to new possibilities. This is a period of emotional transition, where you’re learning from the past and stepping into a fresh perspective on love. You may feel drawn to connections that offer stability, intellectual depth, and emotional security, rather than fleeting passion or intensity.

With Mercury in Aquarius influencing this time, communication is key. Honest, meaningful conversations will help you and your partner—or a potential new love interest—navigate this transition with clarity and trust. As the Venus-Neptune conjunction on February 1 enhances emotional depth and romantic intuition, allow yourself to dream of a love that feels safe, uplifting, and aligned with your soul’s journey. 💖

Everyday

The Six of Swords is about finding your way, both literally and figuratively. So in every day life, it can represent journeys, like a ferry crossing, navigating with Google Maps or Apple Maps to reach your destination. You may find yourself running loads of errands, but on the positive side you are getting everything ticked off your list.

It appears when you’re solving a nagging problem like fixing a small DIY problem at home or making simple choices that bring more ease – taking the scenic route instead of sitting in traffic, decluttering your space for a fresh start, or stepping back from social media to protect your peace. You might be goal setting and figuring out your priorities. 🚤✨

The Takeaway

The Six of Swords is a card of transition, progress, and moving toward calmer waters. Over the next 10 days, with Mercury in Aquarius, Jupiter stationing direct, and the First Quarter Moon approaching, you’ll feel the push to leave behind what no longer serves you and embrace a fresh start. Whether in love, career, finances, health, or daily life, this is a time to trust the process, make logical decisions, and focus on what brings you stability and peace. Change may feel gradual, but every step forward is bringing you closer to something better. Keep going—you’re on the right path. 🚤✨ Click here to read more or see what’s coming up next for you.
