Six of Cups
The Six of Cups evokes nostalgia, childhood memories, and gentle acts of kindness centered on giving and receiving from the heart. The imagery of cups filled with plants, an embrace between a woman and a child, and a bright sun over wheat contrasts interior cultivation with exterior abundance, suggesting reunion, solace, and simple pleasures. Upright, it encourages imaginative reconnection with the past, seeking comfort, and heartfelt reunions where generosity flows freely. Reversed, it warns against excessive longing for what was, immaturity, fixation on time, and the risk of missing present opportunities.

Six of Cups
Description
A woman wraps an arm around a child. She holds a cup filled with plants. Six more cups surround the two women as they gaze at one another. Lush plants grow in all the cups and in a few extra pots placed all around in the greenhouse. They enjoy a moment of solidarity while in a building. A shield with a cross appears on a wall. The sun shines brightly on a field of wheat outside, a stark contrast to the life growing inside the building.
