A little more about Six of Cups...

The Six of Cups symbolizes the nostalgia we feel for something that has passed and has a personal history. However, the card says that we should not cling to or regret the past. Memories and nostalgia should serve as experiences.

In the card, we see a sunny day, with two children enjoying the freedom and innocence of age. They symbolize the past and the future, our old friendships, loves, experiences. Around them, there are six cups filled with white flowers. One child gives the other a vase of flowers as an offering of love and gratitude.

The card also suggests that harmony and peace have everything to come back at the moment. When this card appears in the reading, your past usually resurfaces, whether through memories or even a visit from someone who was part of your life.
