Six of Swords

Six of Swords — Bonnie’s Perspective

I ruffle my feathers, shake off the clamor of clashing blades, and take a breath. The air behind me still hums with the echoes of the Five of Swords—the endless scrapping, the hollow victories, the sting of pride. I have seen enough of those battles to know: no one truly wins when the only prize is being “right.”

Now, before me, a doorway shimmers with golden light, beckoning me onward. My companion rests a hand on my crest, steadying me, reminding me that leaving isn’t defeat—it’s wisdom. Together, we step past the swords planted in the earth, no longer weapons but markers, boundaries we have crossed.

The planets turn above, vast and endless, and I feel my heart beat with anticipation. Adventure waits on the other side of this threshold, not in proving myself, but in discovering new skies, new songs, new understandings.

The Six of Swords teaches me: when conflict drains the spirit, it is time to journey forward. The gift is not in staying to win the old battles, but in daring to leave them behind.
