Six of Cups
Care · Childhood · Nostalgia · Control
At first glance, this card feels warm and comforting—but upon closer inspection, it reveals a more unsettling undertone. A hand is being pulled upward by another, surrounded by towering walls and a cup marked with an eye-like symbol. These suggest surveillance, possessiveness, and an overbearing form of care that cloaks itself in kindness—rooted in the controlling nature of Scorpio.
This card is ruled by the Sun in Scorpio, a placement that combines deep emotional bonds with a tendency toward subtle domination. Even the sun symbol on the cup, flanked by scorpion tails, resembles a watchful camera, hinting that what appears nurturing may also be restrictive.
