Cups · Water · VI · nostalgia · innocence · the past returning
Upright meaning
Flowers handed between two children. Nostalgia, simple kindness, something from the past coming back around — an old friend, a familiar place, a gentler way of relating.

Six of Cups reversed
Living in a memory that has been polished until it stopped being accurate.
Reversal does not flip Six of Cups into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to stuck in memory, idealising, letting go.
In love
An ex reappearing, childhood connections, or a relationship with genuine tenderness in it.
