🌀 General Meaning

⬆️ The Six of Cups represents nostalgia, childhood, innocence, kindness, and emotional memories. It is a card of the past, sincere joy, generosity, and reunions. It often indicates reconnecting with someone from the past or a longing for simpler, happier times.

⬇️ Reversed, the card warns about being stuck in the past, childhood wounds, idealizing what was, or emotional immaturity. It may reflect an unwillingness to move on or a pattern of emotional dependency rooted in the past.

❤️ Love and Relationships

⬆️ Reconnection with an old flame, pure emotional expression, or a soulmate bond with history. It can also indicate healing through love or the reappearance of a past lover.

⬇️ Emotional attachment to past relationships, idealization, or immaturity in romantic behavior. A tendency to live in memories rather than present love.

💼 Work and Finances

⬇️ Resistance to change, clinging to outdated methods or environments. Fear of the new may prevent career growth.

❓ In Questions and Situations
