Six of Cups Upright
The Six of Cups is the card of nostalgia, so reminisce on past experiences while making way for a bright future. Remember to make time for joy and play, casting aside your worries and responsibilities for a short time. You may find happiness in spending time in the comforts of home, helping a friend, engaging in mutual aid, or asking your inner child what they want and acting accordingly.
Six of Cups Reversed
You may be thinking about how things “should” be instead of accepting your past and current circumstances. The Six of Cups can also show up when there is a need to recover from trauma, which might be affecting present relationships. What needs weren’t met when you were a child? Can you give that to your inner child now? You may feel vulnerable while exploring this line of thinking, so don’t be afraid to talk to a friend, therapist, or other trusted individual.
