Six of Cups
Upright meaning
The Six of Cups is the card of happy memories, nostalgia and innocent joy. It calls you back to something sweet from your past: a childhood friendship, a familiar place, a simpler kind of love. You may reconnect with someone from long ago, or find comfort in returning to what once made you feel safe and cared for. Lead with kindness and let your guard down a little.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, the Six of Cups warns against living too much in the past or clinging to how things used to be. It can point to homesickness, an old memory you have idealised, or a need to grow up and step into the present. Cherish the good times, then let them go so you can move forward.
A blast from the past may return, an old flame, a first love or a rekindled connection, and this card favours gentle, sincere affection over game-playing.
A past contact, former colleague or old workplace could open a door, and generosity and goodwill now pay you back later.
