The Six of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

Cups

Six of Cups

memory · nostalgia · old kindness

Upright

Something from before comes back — a person, a place, a way you used to be. The Six is sweet and a little dangerous, because memory is a lovely place to visit and a poor place to move into.

Reversed

Reversed, you're either stuck in the past or cut off from it entirely. Both are worth examining, starting with whether the good old days were quite as good as they've become.

If this is your card this month

What from your past deserves a place in your present?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If Six of Cups arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
