Upright
A sweet return to simpler times. The Six of Cups is nostalgia, childhood memory, and innocent kindness, sometimes a reunion or a gift from the past.
Reversed — a memory used as a place to hide
Stuck in the past, idealizing memory, or refusing to grow up. Sentiment becomes a place to hide from the present.
Why this card
Cups reads love, feeling, and the ties between people. As a Six, it marks recovery and exchange — the turn after the five, movement back toward balance.
Water is the element of feeling and relationship — the heart, the bond, what runs beneath the surface.
Sun (vitality and self) in Scorpio (intense depth).
