Six of Swords Reversed

The reversed six of swords is all about travel delays and an inability to go anywhere. I hope this doesn't apply to me. We have a big family trip planned next week for my partner's 50th birthday. Like others in the world, we haven't been anywhere in two years, so this is a pretty big deal. If it gets cancelled or there are delays and we can't go, I don't want to think about that. 

Luckily, the reversed six might also mean rocking the boat, which IS something I have done recently. My kid is having an issue in one of his classes, where he and other kids are feeling threatened, so I emailed the principal like an angry bear momma the other day, and accused them of not providing a safe and secure learning environment. 

They took awhile to get back to me and their email this morning was a simple "we know about this. If your child has any more issues they should come directly to us." It read like a form letter, which only served to make me more livid. Some kids don't feel comfortable going to anyone but their parent, you know. 

Anyway, I'm pissed and unable to move on from this, which is a very reversed six of swords way to be. I think for lunch I'll have some comfort food and watch Jurassic Park. Seeing dinosaurs eat useless authorities will bring me joy.

The Upright six depicts a gradual change or difficult journey. This is a troublesome trip, and one that is not wanted but is necessary for survival.
Reversed, someone is having trouble making that move forward. Perhaps there is a delay or cancellation of travel plans, someone has “rocked the boat” so to speak, or perhaps the worst has happened, such as a flood or a drowning.
