General Love Meaning
The Six of Cups is that song that plays on the radio that reminds us of our first heartbreak or randomly running into the person who shared our first kiss. This card means that you will look back and reflect on the good, bad, and ugly of your relationships. These memories arise because something was lost that was valued or left unfinished and needs closure.
Single and Loving It!
You have some great stories about the people you've dated, loved, and thrown into the dating pile. From time to time, you enjoy sharing a shocking or scandalous story about your adventures. Enjoy reliving your past, even if you embellish it a bit for entertainment. But if you don't have fun stories, it's time to get out there and get some! You only live once.
Ready for Love / Dating
There's nothing worse than going on a date with someone who talks about their past relationships. If this is you, the hard truth is that you may not be ready to date. Do everyone a favor and do the work (with a therapist if necessary) to get over your past. Give your future self the best chance at having a good relationship.
Committed Relationship
This can be a positive card for people who already have a solid foundation in their relationship. Your relationship continues to develop and strengthen; your partner is there for you and vice versa. The Six of Cups can also signify the arrival of a new child in the home or an important anniversary.
Struggling Relationship
If you feel tempted to tell your partner "I miss the old you," don't. Everyone and everything changes over time. Putting past expectations on your partner isn't helping your relationship and isn't fair. What you have is a relationship and a person in the now that needs attention.
The End
Your ex wasn't all sugar, spice, and everything nice. If they were, you'd still be in the relationship with them. Remember that the relationship ended for a good reason. If you don't know what your ex was thinking when they broke up with you, you'll have to get comfortable not knowing. Sometimes you don't get the explanation you want (and trying to get one makes you act a little crazy). It's done. See the relationship for what it was and move on.
Visual Description
A young blond woman in a turquoise dress sits on a large stone at the water's edge, cupping water in her hands and letting it fall back into the pool. Her face is reflected clearly in the water below. Several rocks around her display cup symbols and a small heart is etched on a nearby stone; a green leaf with a white flower floats on the surface. The surrounding water and shore are painted in vibrant greens and blues.
