Traditionally the Six of Cups meant ‘in the past’ and the Six of Coins referred to ‘in the now’ – we tend to reminisce about the good old days when we sip wine from a cup. The reversed Six of Cups traditionally meant ‘in the future’ – perhaps because the inverted cups do not yet hold the wine we will drink at a future time. These traditional ‘past-present-future’ meanings derive from the fortune-telling history of the tarot.
