Six of Cups upright
In a peaceful courtyard, a boy offers a girl a cup full of flowers. The Six of Cups awakens the heart's memory: childhood, happy memories, simple tenderness. It may herald reunions with people from your past, returns to beloved places or the need to reconnect with your inner child. This card invites you to rediscover innocence, generosity with no strings attached and the pleasure of simple things, remembering what made you happy before life got complicated.
Six of Cups reversed
Reversed, the Six warns that nostalgia can become a cage. Perhaps you're idealising a time gone by, or finding it hard to accept that things have changed. Honour what you've lived, but don't forget that your present deserves tenderness too. The best of yesterday can inspire your tomorrow.
The suit of Cups
The suit of water: the world of emotions. The Cups speak of love in all its forms, of friendship, of intuition and of what you feel, even if you don't say it.
