Card Imagery
In a village square, a young child offers a cup filled with flowers to a smaller child. Six cups filled with white flowers surround them. An older figure walks away in the background. The scene is warm, safe, and tenderly innocent.
Upright Meaning
The Six of Cups evokes nostalgia, innocence, and happy memories from the past. It can represent childhood, old friends returning, or the simple joy of giving and receiving. There's a sweetness to this card that warms the heart.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Six of Cups warns against living too much in the past, idealising what was, or being unable to move forward. Nostalgia is beautiful but shouldn't become a cage.
