Any transition could be bumpy and require patience and understanding. It’s important to remember that this transition could be necessary in order to find a fresh and more meaningful connection.

This combination of tarot cards can also signify a period of transformation, where you may have to let go of certain aspects of your life in order to make room for a better future.

What does The Tower and 6 Of Swords mean together for your health?

The pairing of The Tower and The 6 of Swords cards in a reading related to health are a warning that change is coming in the form of an upheaval and a necessary transition. The drastic and sudden change may come about after a period of stagnation, which can indicate a period of illness or difficulty. This change can be unwelcome and can lead to a period of disruption, violence, and ruin which can cause a great deal of upheaval and distress.

This could signal the need for a new treatment or changes to a habit or lifestyle that have been proven ineffective or no longer beneficial. It could also be time to make difficult decisions, enter into therapy, or take other measures to improve one’s health and wellbeing. It could be a warning that something is coming to an end and a new beginning must be embraced in its stead.

The 6 of Swords encourages a period of relocation and transition. This could refer to leaving a job, physical place of residence, or relationship which has become detrimental to one’s health. It suggests that the individual must make an effort to leave behind these conditions that are not conducive to health and wellbeing to move onto something better. It could also refer to the need to take a break and rest to recover from an illness or setback.

The Tower tarot card and The 6 of Swords tarot card together can signal a period of disruption and transition in a person’s life, but it can also signal a much needed change that can be the catalyst for a period of healing and renewal. This can be a difficult time, but the end result can be a healthier and more fulfilling 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

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as The Tower and 6 Of Swords 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 The Tower mean?

Health

The Tower card is often associated with unwelcome changes to one’s health and well-being. It could indicate health issues that come out of nowhere, such as an unexpected illness, injury, or medical diagnosis. In general, this card can indicate a time of uncertainty with regards to one’s physical and mental health. It may signal that changes are coming, and that one should expect to have to adjust and adapt in order to take care of their health. It could also signal that health treatments one is undergoing may not have worked as expected, causing an upheaval and a need to start fresh.

Finances

The Tower card is sometimes seen as a warning sign of financial hardship or ruin. It could signal a need to find new ways to make money, or to suddenly pay off debts. It can also indicate sudden losses, such as the loss of a job, or the loss of income due to a major change in the economy. This may lead to a need to find new ways to manage one’s finances in order to stay afloat. This card can also indicate that one’s opportunities to accumulate wealth may have been disrupted, and that they need to find new ways to rebuild.

Relationships

The Tower card is often seen as a sign of upheaval in relationships. It could indicate sudden changes being made, or a need for one to accept the changes that have already taken place. It could signal that relationships are going through a restructuring, and that one may need to find ways to adjust their expectations and accept the changes taking place. This card could also signal that relationships are going through a difficult time and that one needs to put in the effort to rebuild the bond. It could also indicate that one may need to prepare for change, and that the current state of their relationship may not hold.

What does 6 Of Swords mean?

When it comes to health, The 6 of Swords Tarot card can indicate a physical relocation. This could mean a number of things, including starting a new exercise routine, changing doctors or getting a second opinion on an existing medical condition. This card can suggest that it is time to explore different options when it comes to our health, in order to bring about positive changes.

The 6 of Swords Tarot card in relation to finances suggests that we may need to make a change in our financial life. It may be time to consider a new job, or a different form of investment, in order to manage our money in a more effective and efficient way. This card speaks to the idea of taking a risk in order to bring about greater financial stability and success in the long run.

Finally, the 6 of Swords Tarot card in relation to relationships speaks to the idea of transition and change in our relationships. This card tells us that it is time to let go of old patterns and habits that have been hindering our growth and progress. We may need to explore different methods of communication, consider different ways to resolve conflicts, or even find new relationships that can help us move forward on our path. All of these possibilities should be explored in order to create the most fulfilling and healthy relationship dynamic possible.
