Six of Cups

UPRIGHT

A boy hands a cup of flowers to a smaller child in the courtyard of a peaceful manor. The Six of Cups is nostalgia, innocence, and the warmth of memory — a reunion with someone from the past, a return to a place that shaped the querent, or a small act of unsolicited kindness offered without expectation.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Six of Cups is nostalgia turned to anchor — a person living in the past rather than visiting it. The card can name a refusal to grow up, a relationship maintained out of memory rather than presence, or a childhood pattern still running the adult life without permission.
