Waite-Smith Tarot card: Six of Cups
Illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith · 1909

Six of Cups

The Six brings the emotional past into the present. Memory can restore tenderness and continuity, provided nostalgia does not replace an honest relationship with now.

When the energy is open
  • memory
  • innocence
  • generosity
  • return
When it enters shadow
  • living in the past
  • naivety
  • old pattern
  • difficult memory
One symbolic doorway

The vessel of water

The cup receives, contains, and exchanges emotional energy. Its lesson concerns the quality of what you allow yourself to feel and hold. Six restores movement through exchange, recalibration, and a more conscious form of harmony.

The question to carryWhich memory nourishes me, and which one keeps me from the present?
