⬆️ Upright

The Six of Cups invites you back into the gentle glow of the past. Childhood joys, long-lost friends, or sweet reminders of who you once were rise to the surface. This card asks: what part of that purity can you reclaim and carry forward?

⬇️ Reversed

You may be clinging too tightly to a version of the past that no longer fits. Memory is sacred, but it’s not always accurate. Don’t let nostalgia obscure your present joy or prevent your growth. You’re allowed to move on — and still remember.

🌠 REFLECTION

The past is not a destination, it’s a mirror. What you see in it can guide you home, or trap you in longing. Choose remembrance that makes you more whole, not less free.
