COTD - 6 of Swords (Whispering & Templar Tarots)


Sixes symbolize the union of opposites, finding equilibrium, harmony in the face of constant change.  The suit of Swords is associated with  reason, thought, logic, will, courage, verbal skill, matters pertaining to the mind, communication and the element of air.  Traditionally it can mean moving away from something, perhaps something dangerous, a journey, moving to a new and/or different point of view.

In some respects this card is a clarification of what I already know.  Despite a long (two year) struggle to avoid the inevitable, I now realize that it's time to move on.  I may not be in danger but what does seem appropriate about the 6 of Swords is that the philosophical gap between me and this agency is widening.  We will soon be on opposite shores and there isn't a whole lot I can do about it.  I have my perspective and they have theirs and both are equally valid.  No matter how much I might wish it were otherwise, I can't make their views wrong.  I just need to reach a place where I accept that I can't stay there with my views being considered "wrong" by them.

It's a different set of rules now and I just don't know if I even want to adapt.  It's not the same place I signed up for.  On the positive side, I think I've already dealt with the emotional issues.  I know it will be hard to leave, but at the same time staying is becoming more painful.  It's like watching a loved one deteriorate and die.  There is no reason to stay so I just need to focus on moving on.

I've already revised my resume and I'm looking at job listing and getting myself prepared on a psychological level.  As difficult as this will be, I have to do it.  For my own mental health.  If I don't leave I'll start to believe I"m over the hill and I'm not ready for that yet.
