Six of Cups
Six flower-filled cups accompany the two youngsters shown on this card. As she smiles up at him, the older boy bends down to give the girl his cup. Looking back on the basic joys of childhood, the picture implies.
This card indicates that something from your past is reappearing in your present, prompting you to remember a period when you were younger. It suggests that you concentrate on the present moment's pleasure and happiness. It's possible that someone from your past may return to offer you joy. You may reminisce about wonderful moments you've had in the past and start making new ones together.
The Six of Cups is a card that is deeply entrenched in the past, symbolising nostalgia, but it is also a card that is intimately linked to your happiness. It may mean that your family, old friends, or even former loves are about to bring a lot of pleasure to your life, and it could even mean a reunion. This card may also be about previous endeavours, labors of love, and personal undertakings that have rewarded you emotionally rather than financially.
Our culture adores child-like love. We provide photos of a little boy clutching the hand of a young girl. We recount tales of how our five-year-old cousin kissed the nose of the little girl across the street. What is it that has piqued your interest? We yearn for the naive. We want to be closer to things that we know don't harm us. We enjoy seeing a little boy or girl before many bad influences have affected them in a world full of the unknown and possibly hazardous. The spirit of the Six of Cups is this innocent vitality.
In this card, we're standing in the heart of a city, with buildings and homes towering over us and a guard strolling down the street. A succession of flowers are displayed in lovely cups in front of us. A young kid, no more than 10 years old, is holding one of these flower cups. He's gently passing the cup to a little girl of the same age. As she reaches out to accept the present, she grins. This exhibit, taken as a whole, creates a moving scene.
Take A Trip Down Memory Lane
Innocence. We aspire towards it, but do we really understand what it entails? Some claim that children are innocent, yet even they are susceptible to the influences of their parents and the media. We may never witness perfect, unadulterated innocence, but we may see what it looks like in the acts of children. Remember how essential innocence is in our lives as you draw the Six of Cups. We all have a child at heart; all we have to do is dig deep enough to find it. If we can manage to chip away at the cynical, cold lessons we've acquired, we can all find a degree of innocence inside ourselves.
Finally, this card may usher in a new, innocent love. You know, the kind of love when you sit next to one other, laughing, smiling, and maybe not saying anything because you're bashful or scared. This love is strong, yet it is new; it hasn't had the opportunity to grow roots yet. This also implies that the people haven't had time to form opinions, patterns, or anything else. This kind of love should not be sought for, yet it is a love that everyone experiences at least once in their lives.
Ask yourself some kind, loving questions when you see the Six of Cups. To you, what does innocence imply? Is it feasible to have a childlike nature in your life? Why do you think that is? Is it possible for you to freely give of yourself? What advantages do you think you'll get if you contribute emotionally? Is it possible for you to experience pure love for another person?

Six of Cups’ Connection to your Higher Self
The Six of Cups appears as a soft returning, a gentle pull back toward the innocence of your own heart. Your Higher Self is showing you that beneath your current choices and ambitions, there is a deep desire to feel safe, loved, and remembered. You are motivated not only by future goals, but by an ancient longing to experience the kind of connection you once knew in childhood or in other lifetimes: simple joy, trust, and play. This card reveals that much of what you chase in the outer world is actually an echo of this inner yearning to come home to yourself, to be received without condition, and to live in a reality where your tenderness is not a weakness but a sacred strength.
The energetic force driving you forward now is the current of memory and soul recognition. Old scenes may rise in your mind, old relationships, old dreams you once held and quietly put away. Your Higher Self is guiding these memories to the surface not to trap you in the past, but to show you what has always mattered to you underneath the layers of obligation and performance. Notice what you feel nostalgic for: a sense of belonging, creativity without self judgment, the freedom to explore. These are not childish fantasies. They are signposts. They reveal the vibrational truths that energize you most powerfully: authenticity, kindness, shared joy, and the right to be emotionally open without fear.
When you align these motivations with your Higher Self, your growth accelerates because you stop running on borrowed values and start moving from your original essence. The Six of Cups invites you to reclaim the parts of you that were once told to quiet down: your sensitivity, your imagination, your capacity for wonder. As you honor these qualities instead of dismissing them, your life begins to rearrange around what is genuinely nourishing. Decisions become clearer because you can feel which paths honor your inner child and which betray it. In that clarity, energy that was tangled in regret and old wounds is released, and you step forward with a heart that is both wiser and still miraculously open, allowing your Higher Self to lead you into experiences that feel like a true homecoming.
