The present moment’s importance is mirrored by the significance of the past, which serves as its foundational cause. Thus, the progress from the reversed Eight of Disks to the Six of Cups, and then from the Six of Cups to the Six of Swords, shows the causal connection between the cards.
So, let’s start with the past.
The reversed Eight of Disks seems a throwback to Friday’s reading. Signifying deadlock, it describes the situation perfectly as presented on Friday. It may also signify anxiety. The walls are closing in on you, and there is nowhere to go.
Fortunately, you got a lucky break: the Six of Cups, representing the present, signifies pleasure. It’s a deeply sensual experience, the card being one-third and the heart of the Little Death card. Usually relates to extraordinary sexual experiences, and sometimes transcending, transforming events that can change your perception.
From there, the projected future is envisioned by the Six of Swords.
Kabbalistically, the Sixes of the Tarot deck relate to the Sefirot called Gevurah, which translates as Strength. One of its functions is to overcome obstacles. It’s an interesting correlation and sheds some light on the shift from one card to another.
The reversed Eight of Disks represented a physical blockage that, eventually, had been dissolved and removed by the joy brought by the Six of Cups.
The interesting thing is that while the Six of Cups relates to the emotional aspect of Gevurah, the Six of Swords relates to the intellectual aspect, which is, alchemically, the next level. Everything makes sense, and there’s a natural progression within the cards.
The Six of Swords represents departure – hopefully a final break away, represented by the reversed Eight of Disks.
