The sweet side of the past: an old friend, a childhood memory, or a gift given with nothing expected back.
Six of Cups upright
The sweet side of the past: an old friend, a childhood memory, or a gift given with nothing expected back. Cups belong to water: feelings, relationships and intuition. A Cups card asks what you feel, not what you think.
Six of Cups reversed
Hiding in the past; using nostalgia to put off the present.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
Someone from the past, or an old feeling, returning; an innocent, tender closeness.
Work and money
An old work contact resurfaces; a return to familiar ground.
Advice
Kindness from the past does you good, as long as you don't move back in there. Remembering is one thing, living in the memory another. Instead of going back to those days, bring one habit from them into today.
Is Six of Cups yes or no?
Yes. This card leans toward yes: the conditions it describes support what you are asking about.
