Six of Cups

Upright: nostalgia and the happiness of fond memories, giving or receiving care and affection, reunion with people or experiences from the past.

Reversed: being trapped in the past and unable to move forward, painful memories caused by neglect or lack of proper care.


Under the setting sun, the ocean glows with golden light. As you gaze ahead, you suddenly glimpse a childhood friend — standing upon the shimmering water, holding a conch shell, smiling gently at you. The sea breeze stirs her hair, and the moment feels warm and healing. You long to take her hand once more, to relive the innocence of simpler times. The joy of the Six of Cups is pure and childlike — sometimes, just a small act of kindness, like a friend making you a cup of coffee, can fill your heart with quiet bliss.

In its upright position, the Six of Cups depicts emotional harmony and a sense of balance. It represents comfort, familiarity, and the peace that comes from being surrounded by warmth and affection. This card invites you to cherish your memories while also enjoying the gentle pleasures of the present — moments that soothe the heart and restore your sense of wholeness.
