Six of cups Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

The happiness expressed in the Six of Cups is almost rustic in nature. It represents a simpler, happier time that maybe was not as blissful in real time but has been preserved as such in your memories.
Perhaps you have been in a reflective mood as of late, thinking about your childhood or other pleasant times that have passed. There is no shame in looking back at the past as long as you do not become stuck there.
To you now, the pleasures of the past may seem almost quaint in their nature. And it is true, that you cannot progress and grow if you cling to familiar things and places. However, there is no shame in retreating into the familiar for a time as you heal from what ails you. It will help you get strength to continue. Let your happy memories fuel you as you build towards even happier times to come.

Reversed Card Meaning

The Six of Cups reversed does not take away from the happy memories of your past, but it is a sign that it might be time to move on. It is time to seize any newfound independence with both hands. Perhaps you are moving out of your family home or finding a job for the first time. Any step towards independence is laudable and you should be proud of yourself—leaving the comfort of the familiar is never easy.
However, be careful that you do not spend too much time dwelling on the memories of the past. The past is almost never as pleasant as we remember it. With time our memories of the bad times fade, leading only the good behind. If you spend your time trying to desperately replicate your rosy memories of the past, you are doomed to fail because those rosy memories never existed in the first place.
You can carry your memories of the past with you always, and you do not need to sever your cords with familiar places and people immediately. However, this is a sign to look towards the future.
