Alright so today I decided to dig into the 6 of Spades meaning. I keep seeing this card pop up in my readings lately and I figured it’s time to really understand what it’s trying to tell me.
Starting with a Messy Spread
I pulled out my trusty deck this morning. The cards were a bit scattered on my desk, honestly. I shuffled them a few times, not really thinking too hard, just letting my hands move. Then I drew three cards randomly. And guess what showed up right in the middle? Yep, the 6 of Spades.
My first thought was, “Great, another spade.” They always make me pause. So I laid it down and just stared at it for a minute. The image on my deck is pretty simple—six spades in two rows. It looks orderly, but it also feels a bit heavy.

Looking Back at My Old Notes
I got up and grabbed my journal where I scribble down all my tarot thoughts. I flipped through the pages to see if I’d written anything about the 6 of Spades before. I found a couple of short notes from months ago:
- Feels like moving on from something hard.
- Maybe a small win after a struggle.
It wasn’t much to go on. My own writing was kinda vague. I realized I never really sat down with this card properly. I’d just glossed over it in the past.
Testing the Meaning in a Real Situation
I decided to test it out. I thought about a problem I’ve been having at work—this ongoing project that’s been dragging me down. I asked the cards, “What’s the energy around this situation right now?” I pulled a single card. It was the 6 of Spades. Again.
This time, I took it more seriously. I thought, okay, if this card is about moving forward after a tough time, maybe it’s telling me the worst part of this project is almost over. It’s not a happy card, but it’s not a disaster either. It’s like a sigh of relief.
Putting It All Together
So here’s my takeaway after messing around with it today. The 6 of Spades isn’t flashy. It’s not about big celebrations or sudden disasters. It’s that quiet moment when you’ve finally gotten through something difficult. It’s the feeling of being tired but also a little bit lighter.
I wrote all this down in my journal with a big heading so I won’t forget it. Now when I see this card next time, I’ll know it’s probably a nudge to keep going because the hard part is behind me. It’s a small message, but an important one.
