What Does the Six of Cups Tarot Card Mean?

The Six of Cups represents memories, the return of the past and emotional bonds formed long ago. In a reading, it may indicate a reunion, a childhood connection or a familiar situation returning for another encounter. The past can offer comfort or healing, but nostalgia should not prevent you from seeing the person or situation as it exists today.

The past contributes something you still value
