The Six of Swords as an outcome is transition. The situation is heading away from difficulty toward calmer waters.

What the Six of Swords means as an outcome upright

Tina Gong's the Six of Swords guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with transition, change, rite of passage and releasing baggage. In the outcome position I read those meanings as the likely direction of the situation if things carry on as they are now. An outcome card is not a fixed sentence. It shows where the current road leads, and roads can be changed. The Minor Arcana overview at Biddy Tarot is a useful second reference.

Upright, the Six of Swords shows the outcome as a quiet departure from a hard time. Things gradually improve.
