Six of Cups

Meaning

This card means to recall the comfort and warmth given by people in those innocent times or to find that long-lost sense of security.

Tarot Reading

In a colorful garden, a little boy is sniffing the flowers in his glass, and he seems to be handing the glass to the little girl in front of him. The whole picture is covered with rich fairy-tale-like colors, bringing back childhood memories. The Six of Cups stands for the people and things related to the past. In addition, it also implies homesickness, just like the manor in the painting. The manor is full of flowers and laughter, people are coming and going, and the place is as warm as home. Just like the loving look and appearance of the boy offering the flowers to the girl, the Six of Cups can also represent caring and making a present.

Highlights for Understanding

The Six of Cups, whether being upright or reversed, represent memories of people and things that have been experienced in the past. The difference is that when this card is upright, it means remembering the past when it is better now than in the past. When this card is reversed, it means recalling the past when it is worse than the past. Please try to feel the difference between these two situations.
