A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Magician card and 6 Of Swords card together in particular.
The The Magician card and 6 Of Swords have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.
What does The Magician and 6 Of Swords mean together?
The Magician and The 6 Of Swords tarot cards together represent a time of transition in your life where you are focused on creating positive change. This may be a time of relocation or moving to a new home, starting a new job or career, or making any kind of major change that requires you to be creative, proactive and inspired in your actions. This is a time when you are working hard to manifest your vision and turn your dreams into reality. You may need to let go of some old patterns or ways of thinking in order to make room for the new, but ultimately this transition will lead you to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
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
Both The Magician and 6 Of Swords mean “Yes” when being asked a question. There is no doubt here, if you draw The Magician and 6 Of Swords the answer to your query is “YES”.
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 The Magician mean?
The Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to create your own reality. If you can focus your creative energy, you can make your dreams come true. This is a time for inspired action. Follow your heart and trust your intuition.
When it comes to health, The Magician Tarot card means that you have the power to heal yourself. Trust your body and listen to its needs. Nourish yourself with healthy food and plenty of rest. Exercise regularly and find time for relaxation.

What does 6 Of Swords mean?
The 6 of Swords tarot card can represent a need for transition or change in your life. This may manifest as a physical move, such as relocating to a new city or town. Alternatively, it may represent an internal shift, such as changing careers or taking on a new hobby. Either way, the 6 of Swords suggests that it is time for you to make a change in your life.
When it comes to your health, the 6 of Swords suggests that you may need to make some lifestyle changes in order to improve your overall health. This may mean eating healthier, exercising more, or cutting back on unhealthy habits. If you are facing a health issue, the 6 of Swords suggests that you will eventually find a way to overcome it.
In terms of your finances, the 6 of Swords suggests that you may need to make some changes in order to improve your financial situation. This may mean finding a new job, earning more money, or spending less money. Whatever changes you need to make, the 6 of Swords suggests that you will eventually get your finances back on track.
When it comes to your relationships, the 6 of Swords suggests that you may need to make some changes in order to improve your situation. This may mean ending a relationship that is no longer healthy, starting a new relationship, or working on your current relationships. Whatever changes you need to make, the 6 of Swords suggests that you will eventually find a way to improve your 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 The Magician and 6 Of Swords has helped you.
