Six of Cups tarot card

Upright meaning

nostalgiamemoriesreunion

The Six of Cups is the pull of memory: nostalgia, old friends, and the sweetness of what was. This card invites you to revisit the past — but as a source, not a home. Take what was good forward; leave the rest in the photo.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the Six of Cups shows the past overstaying. Living in the highlight reel, idealizing what was, or letting an old debt of feeling keep you from today. The door you keep looking back through is one you chose to leave.
