Six of Cups
Keywords: nostalgia, childhood, innocence, kindness
In a sunny courtyard, a boy offers a girl a cup full of white flowers, while other flowering cups surround them. It’s the tenderness of memories. The Six of Cups speaks of nostalgia, people from the past, childhood and simple gestures full of kindness. It can announce a reunion, an unexpected gift or a return to a beloved place. It invites you to reconnect with the child you carry inside, with what made you happy before you worried so much.
Reversed
Reversed, the Six of Cups shows too much attachment to the past: idealizing what was and not seeing what is. It can also point to memories that weigh on you. Honor your history, but live your present. If someone from the past comes back, ask yourself whether they fit who you are today, not who you were back then.
Love
In love it can bring a past love, a reunion or a sweet, innocent relationship. If you have a partner, relive lovely memories or special places together. Simple tenderness, like a handwritten letter, strengthens the bond.
Work
At work it favors projects related to childhood, education or memory. An old contact may also come back with an opportunity. Remember what excited you when you started: that original motivation can guide you today.
Advice
Do something you loved as a kid: drawing, a favorite candy, an old song. That part of you needs its time too.
