Your Tarot Mentor for May 2026:
The Six of Swords

Theme: Transitions

Action/Advice: Decide, Make the move

How it might show up generally:
A literal move, converting to another religion, being swept forward towards something new, an epiphany that inspires action, flight

How it might show up in relationships:
Getting into the flow of communications + invitations, moving towards something (someone), or just moving on

How it might show up in work/career:

The Six of Swords is about moving on. It’s time to move away from chaos and into a new phase of clarity. While this card may reflect a physical move or trip, in its essence it’s about a mental shift that inspires a whole new lifestyle. A secret is revealed, a misunderstanding is made right, new information unlocks a change in philosophy, or a simple conversation changes your mind. This card suggests that some bit of news provides insight or allows for some small epiphany that changes your mental atmosphere and/or allows you to make the decisions you need to make to move forward out of anguish or confusion or stuck-ness into a healthier place. This next cycle is all about traveling to a whole new paradigm – metaphorically and/or physically – sailing beyond former obstacles towards calmer shores.
