Six of Swords
หกดาบ
Remember it
A ferryman poles a woman and child from rough water to smooth: the swords come along, but the boat is heading for calmer shores.

The Six of Swords is the slow move away from a hard time toward somewhere calmer. Six is the number of harmony, and in Swords it means the mind finding its balance again. You may still be carrying some of the hurt with you, but you are heading in a better direction. It can also mean an actual trip or move, and it is fine to accept help along the way.
