As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the 6 Of Swords card and 7 Of Cups card together in particular.

The 6 Of Swords card and 7 Of Cups have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups mean together?

The 6 Of Swords tarot card combined with The 7 Of Cups card represents a need or desire to make a major transition, or relocating. You may feel the need to move away, either physically or emotionally. However, this transition requires that you first assess the many choices before you, which can be a difficult task due to your commitment issues. It is important for you to consider all of your options before taking the next step, but once you make the decision, you can then move forward with confidence and certainty.

The meaning may differ depending on what you are asking. Here are some common questions and their possible meanings

What does 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups mean together for your love life?

The combination of The 6 of Swords and The 7 of Cups tarot card can signify a time of transition in your love life. The 6 of Swords can foretell a period in your relationship when you are preparing to move forward, either in terms of a physical move or a spiritual, emotional, or mental one. It is a time of change and new beginnings where you feel you need to move on from where you are, in order to make positive progress.

The 7 of Cups also speaks to a time of indecision regarding commitments in your relationship. You may be facing a decision that requires you to choose one path or the other, but you may not feel confident about which option will result in the best outcome for you and your partner. You are likely feeling a sense of hesitation and need to take time in order to truly evaluate how each choice could impact your relationship. This could be a challenge as the two of you may both be trying to move in different directions.

This combination can indicate a difficult period in your relationship as you try to find balance between the two sides of the tarot card. It is important to take the time to make sure both parties are comfortable with the decisions being made, and take into consideration the impact that any changes may have in the future. If you take the time to think things through and plan your transition carefully, you can create a relationship that is strong and secure even through the changes. It is important to be open and honest with one another during this time of transition, so that an understanding can be reached and both partners feel secure in the decisions being made.

What does 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups mean together for your finances?

When The 6 Of Swords and The 7 Of Cups tarot cards appear together in a reading related to finances and job, it indicates that it may be time for a major life transition or relocation. This could mean that you need to make a riskier financial decision in order to make a transition in your career, or it could mean that you are considering a move to a new place that could benefit your career.

The cards suggest that the decision can be difficult, as the 7 Of Cups indicates that you may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of choices you have or be second-guessing your commitment. This could be related to a major decision such as a career change, relocation, or even a major financial decision like investing in a new business. The 6 Of Swords indicates that this is ultimately a necessary change, and although it may be uncomfortable, it is ultimately for the best.

The combination of The 6 Of Swords and The 7 Of Cups suggests that you should take your time to consider all of your options, but ultimately make a decision.

What does 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups mean together for your health?

The Six of Swords and The Seven of Cups, when taken together, speaks to the need for a transition in one’s health. It could be a relocation to a place with better access to medical care, or it could be the sudden need to cut out certain negative habits, such as smoking or excessive drinking, in order to improve one’s physical and mental health.

This is a difficult transition, as the Seven of Cups speaks of having too many choices, and commitment issues when it comes to deciding on one course of action. It is important to remember that all changes in health require both commitment and action in order to be successful. Taking the Six of Swords and the Seven of Cups together, this could refer to taking a step back and assessing the available choices in order to determine the right course of action to take.

Once this careful assessment has been made, the transition to better health can begin. Taking small steps and creating realistic goals can help to make this transition easier, as well as maintaining self-discipline and getting regular check-ups and medical advice.

The six of swords and the seven of cups together is a reminder to focus on the long-term reward of a healthier lifestyle, as well as recognizing that changes may take time to take effect. Taking this advice to heart will be the first step towards improving one’s health, and the cards are a reminder that it is okay to take a few moments to pause and reflect on what course of action is the best for one’s individual health journey.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

  • The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
  • The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does 6 Of Swords mean?

Health

The 6 of Swords Tarot card symbolizes a necessary transition in health matters. It could mean quitting an unhealthy lifestyle—whether that means bad dietary habits, smoking, or substance use—for a healthier one. There could be a need to move away from an environment that is not conducive to good health—for example, a location where air pollution is high or food options are limited. Physically relocating to an environment with clean air, clean water, and healthy food can be a step toward improved health. Switching doctors, treatments, or medications could be part of the transition.

Finances

The 6 of Swords Tarot card indicates a transition in finances, as well. It could involve a relocation or change of job that would lead to increased financial security. It might mean taking steps to reduce debt or investing in different financial products. It could also mean a shift in mindset around money, one that involves greater financial responsibility or planning for the future.

Relationships

The 6 of Swords Tarot card could signify a transition in relationships. It could mean moving away from a toxic relationship or leaving an unhealthy situation. It could involve leaving behind people or a place that is not supportive of positive relationships. On the other hand, it could also be about taking steps to build meaningful connections with people. It could also symbolize an emotional transition, letting go of old pain or processing unresolved issues. In all cases, the 6 of Swords Tarot card could be an indicator of necessary growth to move forward in life.

What does 7 Of Cups mean?

Health: The Seven of Cups tarot card is a sign of too many choices in the realm of one’s health or in their diet or lifestyle. It signifies there are too many options, and it can be difficult to make a definitive choice. This card can also be a warning that one’s health is in jeopardy due to their refusal to commit to a healthier lifestyle or a healthier diet. It’s important for one to recognize potential harms that can come from too much indecision in regards to one’s health.

Finances: The Seven of Cups tarot card speaks to making choices regarding one’s finances. It can show that one is being too indecisive in regards to their finances, whether it’s due to too many different investments and financial projects, or it could be that one is indecisive on how to handle their debt. This card can be a sign that one is putting themselves in a precarious situation if they are not careful and thoughtful when it comes to making financial decisions.

Relationships: The Seven of Cups tarot card can be a symbol of commitment issues in relationships. It can also be a sign of too many choices in the realm of relationships and love. It can be a signal that one is refusing to commit to a relationship or maybe they are trying to juggle too many different relationships at once. It could be an indication that one needs to choose from the options they have in front of them and make a decision in order to move on and develop healthy, meaningful relationships.

Conclusion

Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw 6 Of Swords and 7 Of Cups has helped you.
