Six of Cups

Six of Cups — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

memory, kindness, the past returning

Something from earlier comes back gently — an old friend, a familiar comfort, an uncomplicated kindness. Warm rather than nostalgic.

In a yes or no reading, Six of Cups upright answers yes.

Reversed

stuck in the past, idealising, letting go

The past is being remembered better than it was, or held on to in a way that keeps the present small.

In a yes or no reading, Six of Cups reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Six of Cups can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
