Your Chosen Card – Six of Cups Upright Thoth Deck
When upright, the nostalgic Six of Cups refers to pleasant memories and enjoyable relationships returning from the past. It can herald a friendly reunion or the revival of a former friendship or love interest. You may find yourself exchanging gifts or sharing sexual pleasures with someone you care about. This is a card of joy, harmony, and satisfaction. Traditionally it is a marker of things past.
Keywords Upright: In the past, happy memories, nostalgia, longing, reunion, harmony, pleasure, enjoyment, betterment, gift giving, old friends, renewal of old relationships, a blast from the past. 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.
