Six of Cups Tarot Card Description
In tarot numerology, the number six is associated with care and nurturing. When you combine this number with cups, which is the suite most associated with emotions, you can be sure that a gentle, pleasant and heart-warming time is yours for the taking.
Upright Meaning
The Six of Cups concerns itself with childhood and nostalgia. When it appears in a reading, it suggests that you will find yourself flicking through old photographs and reminiscing about your past. This card encourages you to lighten up and see the world through innocent eyes. This could mean learning something new, perhaps a craft you remember an older family member practising or a hobby which you enjoyed as a child but that you have let slip as time has passed by. Do you remember how curious you were as a little one? Could you recapture that sense of wonder by studying a new subject? Alternatively, you could find that walking down the beach and collecting shells, or if you’re really daring, building a sandcastle, could raise your spirits. This is a good time to be brave and find some bright colours to add to your wardrobe, as this can lighten your mood further and make you seem even more approachable. If all that seems a little too much too soon, why not treat yourself so some candyfloss or partake of your favourite childhood sweet. Of course, for some people the past can be a shadowy place full of sharp stones, if so, the Six of Cups suggests you are in a good position to release this negativity and create some happier memories for yourself. This is also a time when simple friendships are important – a face from the past could seem to appear from nowhere to share your fun. The joy of friendships at this time, is that they are so simple, there will be no complex undercurrent or favours to be sought beyond seeking to spend your time with a likeminded soul. When the Six of Cups crops up in your reading, you present a friendly openness and goodwill to others. Even better, when folks see your sunny smile they are drawn to your warmth. The arrival of the Six of Cups with its emphasis on attracting joy, is also fortunate if you are house or job seeking, as it can imply that your quest is about to be successful.
Reversed Meaning
It’s time to put down the photo album and move towards the front door. Reminiscences are all very well, but you need to get out into the world. Yes, you may have problems you’d prefer to forget, but they won’t go away unless you do something about them. Whatever difficulties you face, you need to be proactive and get them resolved.
Past
You have been remembering a rosy past and forgotten that you have to live in the present too. Have you tended to assume that you have little control over your fate? From now on try steering your own course – you’ll be surprised.
Present
You may find you’re looking back at some good memories. Well the time has come for you to create some more of the same. You have a real sense of playfulness at the moment – make sure you express it.
Future
You will be entering a happy, playful time, when your warm-heartedness will find its sunny reflection in those around you. Your good deeds seem to flow back to you threefold, as others pick up on your sweet vibe.

Six of Cups Love Tarot Card Description
Upright Meaning
Nostalgia isn’t what it was and new relationships call for new attitudes. Try not to dwell on what might have been; it is time to move on. If you’ve been disappointed in love before there is no reason why you should be so again – keep an open mind. Your ‘new’ relationship might not be that new, a surprise meeting with an old flame can re-ignite your passion.
If you have a partner you may find yourselves returning to the heady days (or should that be daze) of your courtship. Any difficulties should melt away like snow in springtime as you draw closer.
The Six of Cups is often associated with children, thus you might meet someone through a child. Equally, you could soon hear the patter or tiny toes as this is the ideal moment to consider starting a family.
Reversed Meaning
Unless you have built a time machine you can’t go back to the past, so you need to cut the cord of a past relationship and move on.
There are only 24 hours in the day and you can only do so much, it may be that you need to trim some of your commitments to make room for some love in your life.
Lots of people like playing games; scrabble, cards, X-box; they all can be great fun. What is not fun is playing games with other people’s emotions or trying to tease them into being interested in you. If someone is treating you this way introduce them to a new game – solitaire! If it is you who is acting in this manner, stop it now before the odds turn against you.
