Six of CupsCups · Minor Arcana

Upright meaning

The past arriving gently. The Six of Cups is memory, childhood, old friendship — sweetness that belongs to a version of you that still exists.

Reversed meaning

Living backwards. Nostalgia used as an escape, or an idealised past that never quite happened.

On the card

This deck names it Six of cauldrons.

In love

Someone from before, or a familiar warmth returning.

In work

Old contacts and old skills resurface usefully.

In yourself

Visit the past. Do not move back in.
