Six of Cups, tarot card in the Waite-Smith tradition

Six of Cups

Minor Arcana · Cups · Water

Upright

  • Nostalgia
  • Childhood
  • Sweetness
  • Memories
General
The scent of the past. Happy memories, reunions, simple and sincere gestures. A comforting sweetness, sometimes a step backward.
Love & relationships
An old love returning, a tender and innocent relationship, or a childhood bond becoming more.
Career & money
Reconnecting with a former colleague, returning to a beloved trade, a gift or help from the past.
Advice
Draw on what did you good before, without staying there. Give simply.

Reversed

  • Clinging to the past
  • Idealization
  • Immaturity
  • Letting go
General
The past holds on. Idealizing what was, refusing to grow up, or finally breaking with a sterile nostalgia.
Love & relationships
Comparing everything to a former love, or replaying childhood patterns in the couple.
Career & money
Attachment to old methods, refusal of novelty, a career frozen in what used to work.
Advice
Keep the sweetness, leave the melancholy. The present has its flowers too.

How the card works

Cups (Water). Water is what we feel: love, friendship, dreams, nostalgia. Cups speak of the heart, of bonds between people, and of inner life.

Six. Harmony restored: exchange, transition, what flows again.
