six of cups
Nostalgia in a teacup. Sweet, but careful: not everything from before is meant to be carried forward.
Upright Six of Cups
The Six of Cups is the memory card: sweet, soft-edged, sometimes bittersweet. Children passing cups of flowers in a quiet garden. It's the card of nostalgia, of an older version of yourself, of the people and places that knew you before.
Drawing the Six of Cups often signals a return, to a place, a person, a part of yourself. It can mean reconnection, or it can mean a quiet farewell to something already gone. Either way, the past is asking for attention.
The past is asking for attention. Decide what you're going to do with it.
Reversed Six of Cups
Reversed, the Six of Cups is being stuck in the past. You've been living in memory at the expense of the present. The version of life you're protecting may not actually exist anymore.
It can also indicate a refusal to engage with where you came from. The Six reversed asks you to look at the past honestly, neither romanticizing it nor refusing to look at it at all.
