Six of Cups
The Six of Cups evokes a green glade of protection, caretaking, and simple kindness, calling you back to the soft trust of earlier days. Upright, it encourages reconnecting with old friends, revisiting safe places, offering small heartfelt tokens, and healing the inner child through forgiveness and gentle memory. You may receive support from someone who remembers you before life grew complicated, or you may be the one providing shelter to another. Reversed, the card warns against getting lost in nostalgia, idealizing the past, or clinging to limiting roles, urging mature boundaries and honest appraisal so memories nourish growth rather than trap you.

Visual Description
A forest stream winds among mossy rocks beneath a canopy of tall, slender trees. A deer lowers its head to drink while a spotted fawn stands in the water on small stones. Six ornate cups rest on the rocks and greenery around the stream; some hold water and sprouting vines. Ferns and lush plants fill the foreground, and a small waterfall glimmers in the background.
Meaning
In a green glade, the Six of Cups returns you to simple kindness and the soft trust of early days. Like finding the Leshy’s hidden spring of living water in Slavic tales, the scene evokes protection, caretaking, and the quiet exchange of gifts between generations. Upright, this card invites you to reconnect with old friends, revisit a safe place, or offer a heartfelt token that costs little yet means much. It suggests healing the inner child, forgiving what has passed, and letting gentle memories water the present. You may receive help from someone who remembers who you were before the world grew complicated, or you may be the one who shelters another. Reversed, the same stream warns against getting lost in nostalgia, idealizing the past, or clinging to roles that kept you small. Old patterns, family myths, or naive trust may need mature boundaries and honest appraisal. Whether upright or reversed, let memory be a spring that nourishes growth, not a pool that keeps you wading in circles.
