In cartomancy with playing cards, the Six of Hearts (6♥) is a card of adjustment.

All sixes are troublesome cards, but the Six of Hearts is a partial exception. Because the Heart suit is positive and it signals the overcoming of difficulties, the Six of Hearts takes on the meaning of adjustment, the dissipation of trouble, the moving on from difficulties.

Only when followed by negative cards does the Six of Hearts take on the meaning of tears and of a situation that is irremediably broken. In this case, the card shows that the negative outcome will deeply unsettle the querent’s emotions.

In a love reading, the Six of Hearts represents a positive outcome after a difficult period, it brings couples back together and it shows that there is harmony (or there will be). The card is deeply connected to the couple as a whole, and it can represent that all is rosy where the couple is headed, depending on the following cards. In itself, it shows good compatibility.

In work readings it can signal going back to work after a period of unemployment or difficult projects finally going in the right direction. The Six of Hearts is also great for getting back loaned money or items (or finding lost objects).

It is strongly connected with religion and spirituality, and can even represent a church as a place. Psychologically it’s the card of finding peace, being agreeable and friendly, but with negative cards it points to depression. Broadly, it also hints at relax, recuperation and a time away from stress.
