Six of Cups
memories, the past, reunion
Six cups are arranged in two tidy columns. This is the card of memories, childhood and nostalgia. It announces reunions, news from someone in your past, old friends or a return to a place you love. It brings sweetness and affection, but it also warns you not to live stuck in what used to be. The past is there to help you understand, not to stay in.
In love
An ex who reappears, a young love or a relationship that gets back the tenderness it had at the start. Ask yourself whether you're going back out of love or out of habit.
Career and money
An old contact, an offer from a place you've worked before or a project you pick up again. Money could come from family, or a payment that was overdue.
Health
Going back to habits that used to suit you, like a sport you once played, helps. Be careful not to get caught up in melancholy.
Reversed
Getting stuck in the past, idealizing what used to be or refusing to accept that things have changed.
As a person
A childhood friend, a relative you haven't seen in ages or an old flame. People you share a history with.

Your childhood, or one particular period, left its mark on you. Some of today's habits and fears come from there, and understanding that helps you let them go.
In the present
Lately memories keep coming back, or someone from before reappears. Pay attention to what it stirs up, because it's telling you something about what you need now.
In the future
A reunion, a visit or news from someone in your past is on its way. It can be lovely if you take it as it is today and not as you remember it.
