Hello, I'm new here, but I've enjoyed reading the messages for a while- it always adds so much insight. I'm writing because a few times I've gotten 6 swords and Judgement together re: a potential relationship, and cannot figure out what it means. Has anyone else gotten this together and would you think it means (leaving - ie going towards something) or (ending- travelling away from?) I have no clue, any comments would be appreciated thanks!

:) Hello aqualibra, Welcome to AT. If you post your question in the Your Readings forum I'm sure you'll get many opinions. To me it is moving away from - recovery and movement into calmer waters. Blessings

It's an interesting combination especially in regards to a relationship. You are definately "going towards" something, but more likely you're going towards a judement; sacrifices will need to be made to reach a balance. That's what you're heading toward. It's possible that the 6/Swords might be taken more literally as well and this could turn into a "long-distance" relationship. That means that one of you learning that you have to move somewhere distant, and communication between the two of needing to be worked out. Unless there are cups in your readings as well as these two, I'd say that the relationship doesn't seem headed toward romance--but could work out well if you're looking for a partner to help you talk over and solve problems. It will be fair and balanced, but not passionate.

Thank you very much for your comments, Thirteen. I had not thought about the combination in that way before, and it makes a lot of sense. I'll keep this all in mind - I've never been so stumped by a combination before really, as Judgement seems about rebirth and the six of swords is not there yet, in mood and tone they seem so different as well, although you're right, they don't strike any romance chords do they. Thanks again!

Well, you didn't say which came after which. I assumed it was 6/swords first, then Judgement. Which seems to indicate a move and a change of life, or a realization and a big change. Both are certainly leaving the old behind, leaving confusion behind in the 6/Swords, heading toward clarity, better communication, and leaving the "old" you behind in Judgement so you can feel reborn, renewed. That's the kind of sacrifice that Judgement often requires, that you bury whatever you've been hanging onto for so very long so you can be "reborn." 6's, of course, are all about finding a balance of sorts, in this case, usually one of communication and thought. Judgement first would be a great change, then 6/swords would be that move or reaching of balance/communication, seeing that other shore in sight, if you will. Hope that clarifies!

Maybe it could be mentally heading towards a better understanding and higher meaning of something. Usually i think judgement involves a big choice, either pending or done, adn maybe you are heading in that direction. So... [moving towards something better, maybe mentally]+[big choice/clarification/higher understanding]= i would think the relationship would be mentally sound (if that was an issue) and would be an escape from any past problems that there may have been in the past. In terms of relationships, it sounds good on a mental level, but there may have to be some understanding and 'gettting to know each other' before there will be any real romance (sound right?). On a personal level, this is just an opinion, i think any 'romantic' relations ;) should be kept on hold until both partners understand each other. But by all means that is just my interpretation and i was not the original reader for it. Good luck!
