The Star and Six of Swords

The Star with the middle Aquarius decan. The Six of Swords is the slow ferry to flatter water, swords carried aboard. Together the tradition reads one of the most hopeful pairings available: a passage away from something difficult, with genuine calm on the far side.

Associated with leaving a bad situation and being right about what follows. Read as gentle and as forward-facing.

A move away from somewhere damaging. Frequently read as reassurance during the crossing rather than after it.

Both cards involve water and neither involves speed. This pair suggests the improvement is real and will not feel like much on any single day.
