VI · Minor Arcana · Cups
Six of Cups
Cups is the suit of water — feeling, relationship, and the inner life.
Upright
nostalgia, innocence, kindness remembered
A child hands another a cup of flowers in a walled garden. This is warm memory — childhood, an old friend, the simple generosity you have not thought about in years. Upright, it favours reconnection and the softness of looking back fondly.
Reversed
living in the past, rosy memory, letting go of it
Reversed, nostalgia becomes a place to hide. The past gets polished until the present cannot compete, or you are held by a version of someone that no longer exists. It can also mean finally stepping out of that garden into now.
Every draw here is a real quantum draw — Six of Cups is one of the 78 you might get, and a friend of your choosing reads it aloud.
