Six of Cups
Water · feelings and relationships
- Nostalgia
- Innocence
As a yes or no answer:Yes
Upright
Sweet memories or someone from the past returning.
In an old courtyard, a child offers a cup of flowers to a younger one. Sweet memories, nostalgia and simple kindness fill this card. Someone from the past may return, or you may revisit a happy time or place. Innocence and goodwill heal. Let yourself enjoy the gentler side of life.
Reversed
Living in the past. Look forward instead.
Reversed, the Six of Cups warns against living in the past. Old memories may be colouring today too much, or you may be idealising what was. Honour the past, then look forward. Growth asks you to leave some childhood patterns behind.
