Six of Cups

Reverse:
Nostalgia, Memories, Healing, Comfort, Familiarity, Joy
Upright:
Living in the past, Struggling to move on, Leaving home
The Six of Cups is all about nostalgia and comfort. Here we see two Pixies joyfully sharing flowers with each other. This card can represent generosity, as well as a child-like happiness. Perhaps right now you are reminiscing about times during your childhood, or about memories that happened only a few years ago.
This card can also represent returning to a familiar place. This place could be somewhere you used to call home, or just a place that makes you feel at home. This is a place that is dear to your heart and fills you with comfort. You could be desiring to return to this place at this time, or perhaps you are going to be going there soon.
The Six of Cups reminds us that it is okay to remember and enjoy past memories, but it's important that we do not live in them. Enjoy watching them re-play in your mind, but be sure to leave them in the past.
Card in Reverse:
The Six of Cups in reverse can suggest that you are clinging to the comforts of the past. Things around you are changing, or you are being forced into change, and it's making you feel very uncomfortable. You may be afraid of losing that feeling of home and it's making you feel scared. Change will always be uncomfortable, no matter what. Try to embrace change and look at it as growth. Is there anything you've ever wanted to do? Anywhere you've wanted to go? You wont be able to do those things unless you let go of the comfortable and familiar. The Six of Cups is here to encourage you to let go of the past, and remind you that it is safe.
