Six of Cups Tarot Card Meaning – Nostalgia & Past Connections

  • Six of Cups tarot card meaning
  • Six of CupsTarot Card Description

    This is a beautiful card that really shows what it means to have that innocent joy in your life. A young child passes a cup of flowers (symbolizing joy and fruitfulness) to a friend. This is a gesture of love and harmony between the two of them. This card makes us reminisce about our childhood and what it means to feel truly happy, in the way that children do. In the distance, an older person walks by. This suggests that we need to focus on what makes us happy. Perhaps reminisce about our past for a while, but then focus on the moment. Living for the now is what affords us the opportunity for childlike glee. The card shows five more cups filled with flowers, perhaps symbolizing happy memories or the prospect of new cheerful memories the children will create. They sit in the courtyard of a large house, suggesting both safety and comfort.

    Six of Cups Tarot Card Reversed Meaning

    Reversed, this card suggests that you are not happy with your present and are therefore living in the past. While it is lovely that you have happy memories that you can return to, now might be the time to focus on making new ones. Do something you never thought you would, try something new and different, meet new people. Perhaps you dwell too much on your past for the wrong reasons, somebody in your past hurt you, or there's a time period in life that made you miserable that you keep returning to. Now is the time to let that go. Don’t let your past ruin your future, as so many people do. It would be a shame to miss out on new opportunities because you can’t move on.
