I love the picture you chose by William Holt and the note on sleepless nights before taking action. Had some sleepless nights and felt disturbed by them, but you give them a meaning, thank you

Hi there, thank you Tracy. Hard to sleep when we are mourning, or in pain, or when something is worrying us, but it's so untidy, there is no clear single line of action we can take, and no clear solution. I have found that using magnesium cream or spray can help settle me to sleep, and vitamin B levels can also affect sleep if they get low. Whatever may be unsettling your sleep, I've drawn the Six of Swords. Of the challenging Swords suit, this card above all shows progress or recovery from ill-health or a setback, sometimes travel or online study between now and early 2026. It can denote the aftermath of a loss or bereavement, and we are steering this little boat all alone and setting our face to the dawn. The Six of Swords is a promise that we will be charting a new course, and it is not quick or easy, but our intellect can help us sail out of the weeds, cool, sharp thinking. The Six of Swords says we shall make progress, it will get better, we shall not be overcome. It correlates with Aquarius, and the Star card.

Oh, thank you so much. Your words always touch me deep. Yes I take Magnesium and B is a good idea too. Progress and recovery sounds so good. If you write we shall not overcome, meaning not to push, but set our face towards the dawn

That's it, I think, Tracy. No magic bullet with the six of Swords. We are talking so generally. But I have known this mean recovery and improvement so many times, after long periods of great strain and stress. We sort of go with the flow, but we don't give the steering away to anyone else, and east is the direction of the dawn, brought about by fresh air, (element of Air) study, recuperation, research, keeping our own counsel.

Thank you, a good reminder, being a 29 degr Pisces and some impatience in myself, I will have your message in my mind :-)

Your cards then, 10 Cups and 2 Wands. Deepest waters, and that doesn't make it easy, when you face a big fork in a road either. Always going to be a deep push and pull, family v the pioneering 2 Wands.

I had such a financial blow again, a few days after we wrote, and reminded myself the next days, face east, face east…. ♥️

So sorry for your troubles Tracy. 6 Swords as a card, being read without any personal context forecasts an onward journey, recovery from troubles, but this is not (generally) a quick time frame. Card readers are not qualified to give financial advice but the Six, like the Ace, can suggest a professional advisor.
