Card 6
Six of Cups

A boy hands a cup of flowers to a younger girl in the courtyard of a quiet home. Five more cups around them, all in bloom. An older figure walks off in the background. This card is the soft warm feeling of remembering. Comfort, safety, the simple version of love.

Upright Meanings
Something from before is coming back. An old friend, an old place, an old version of yourself. The Six of Cups says enjoy it. Visiting the past is fine. Living there is not. The other read is play. You've gotten too serious. Do the thing you used to love without trying to be good at it.
Reversed Meanings
You're holding on to something that ended. The good times you keep replaying are real, but they're back there, not here. The card asks what the past is doing for you right now. If the answer is comforting you while the present sits ignored, it's costing too much. Forgive what needs forgiving and come back to today.
