upright — what she sees
the river is wide. you're already on the boat. drawn upright, six of swords speaks of crossing over, leaving for calmer water, the ferry. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — the ferry made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the boat left twice. you didn't get on either time. reversed, the card turns inward — resistance to move, stuck on the dock. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, six of swords is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
