The meaning of the card in health layouts

Despite the positive vibrations, the direct card carries a somewhat negative connotation in a health reading. It is most often associated with certain restrictions, as well as the moral emptiness of the querent.

At upside down The lasso has several interpretation options. First, it can show recently experienced illnesses and outdated treatments. Secondly, it can indicate an unstable emotional state. Most tarot readers advise additional analysis of neighboring arcana and pulling out a clarifying card if necessary.

General psychological characteristics of a person

This card has an interesting and quite positive, strong influence on human psychology. The querent, under the influence of the direct position of the card, is considered a model of generosity and devotion. He especially values family ties and will never betray his family and friends.

If we talk about the psychological state, the lasso shows a state in which a person internally wants to return to childhood.

Inverted position shows a person who most often lives in past dreams and defeats. In addition, unexpressed feelings towards the former partner may play a role. There may be unspoken sympathy, lingering love for a childhood friend, which the latter does not know about and is afraid to say. Psychological trauma from childhood is possible, most often family violence, overprotection or black sheep syndrome, when a person becomes the target of bullying at school.

Interpretation for fortune telling about work and finances

A person perceives work with a creative approach. It is impossible to drag him into routine; he everywhere looks for a reason for a creative approach and positive moments.

But this approach is positive only in cases where the work itself is considered creative. In positions where general self-discipline is needed, this approach will interfere with achieving goals.

If there are difficulties at work, the lasso advises to pay attention to those times when a person managed to reach the top. Perhaps that's where the clue lies.

In general, the map can be interpreted in different ways. Either it shows a return to one’s early ideas and plans for their implementation, or it means receiving moral satisfaction from the work being performed now. Field of activity – humanitarian or social. The lasso indicates a possible improvement in the quality of one’s former life, and the receipt of a small but constant income.

At upside down The lasso advises a person to live less in the past. Due to outdated rules of life, success and recognition deserved by a person are postponed. And the success that was due to the person was earned by someone else from the environment. It’s worth rethinking your life and starting to gradually change the rules to suit yourself, and not conform to others.

The person is too attached to his old place of work. Moral pressure is often exerted by accumulated debts. Also, the card often shows a person who tends to handle finances using outdated methods. Sometimes the lasso symbolizes receiving an inheritance.

Situation, question

When fortune telling a situation or question, the direct lasso gives a positive answer (especially if it concerns sentimental feelings or memories) and portends changes in life for the better. Everything that the questioner plans will soon come true.

Many tarot readers, however, consider this lasso to be insidious, since, although it gives a positive forecast, it is never known what exactly will come out in the end.

the alignment with Death advises forgetting the past.

Card of the day

Today is the time to sort through childhood memories and find out at least part of the root causes of existing fears and complexes. If you get the chance, don’t be afraid to express what’s on your mind: sometimes this method is the best anti-stress therapy.

Reversed card The day promises favorable opportunities in the future, new events.

Advice from the card of the day - it’s worth remembering your past dreams and desires. They will be very helpful now.

General warning of the lasso– you should not restrain the impulse of feelings that sometimes overtakes a person. Containing feelings leads to stress and depression, and childhood grievances that a person suppresses in himself can cause the development of psychological problems. Now is the time for a total analysis of your past. You may need psychological help.

What questions should you ask if you get a card:

1. What type of nostalgia covers a person?

2. Are there any unexpressed feelings or grievances?

3. What does a person think about more often: about the past or the future?

This card is considered one of the most favorable in most decks. It describes a harmless situation, success without effort in a harmonious environment, the manifestation of generosity, generosity and love, joy of life and inner harmony, well-being and uplift (at least emotional). As the resulting map of the layout, it usually reports that an almost forgotten dream will unexpectedly come true.

But besides this (and mainly) this Arcanum is a vector directed into the Past. A card of nostalgia, memories of the past, romantic feelings, it means past hobbies, from the influence of which we have completely or partially freed ourselves, disappeared people and things. Everything that seemed lost at the stage of Fives returns in Sixes. The presence of this card in the layout speaks of the awakening of long-forgotten desires, past aspirations, intentions and plans. Something will clearly remind you of the past - people, places, meetings, events... This map is used to turn the pages of your own book of life. It is in charge of both ordinary memory, which does not go beyond the limits of one life, and the so-called karmic memory. The ancient interpreters give this card the meaning of “that which has disappeared,” but that’s the trick: it has not disappeared. It cannot disappear. “Manuscripts don’t burn.”

According to the Six of Cups, better times do not come, better times return. “Before the war, everything was decidedly better,” the grass is greener, the birds are more vocal, prices are lower, feelings are deeper... well, that’s it.

The appearance of this card indicates that something or someone will make you see the good in life again. The Six of Cups should be perceived as a logical continuation of the Five of Cups. Sadness, bitterness, disappointment and dissatisfaction with what is, leads to nostalgic thoughts about past love and past happiness, about how good it once was.

And the best thing that the Six of Cups can give (especially to those “nailed” by the Five) is the inner knowledge that happiness exists, in principle it happens, and if you were once happy, then you can achieve it again, learn it again. This card shows that the questioner can recognize happiness again, that happiness can return, especially in a favorable scenario. The feelings that we begin to experience again according to this card are such that they usually fill us with light and joy and inspire us to take new steps. Impulses coming from the past give us the strength to bring something important to life here and now, and experience allows us to change many things in life for the better.

Like the Ten of Cups, the Six of Cups can be an indicator of the querent’s house, even in such a broad sense as homeland, origins, sources. Sometimes the presence of a card in a layout indicates that the root of the problem is in the questioner’s childhood; it may indicate some episodes or impressions of early years, and if the Six of Swords is nearby, then this is definitely some kind of generic background. According to the Six of Cups, there are family celebrations, special dates, memorable days, as well as simply meeting people with whom we have not seen for a hundred years.

The very appearance of the Six of Cups in a reading often indicates that the current state of affairs has deep roots in the past, and it makes sense to think about its impact on the present. A negative card environment may indicate that this is a traumatic, destructive influence.

Sometimes it is literally a “journey into the past” - to the places where we left a piece of our heart.

The first traditional meaning describes such human qualities as infantilism, naivety, innocence, sincerity and simplicity, a kind of inner child, devoid of doubts, duplicity and other troubles of adulthood. This is the state that we usually lose along the path of life, and here is a glimpse of it - the Six of Cups in the reading. Traditionally, it is associated with recognizing your inner child. This is a return to yourself.

Another meaning has to do with deeply unchildish experiences - for that matter, they are more characteristic of older people. This is nostalgia for the past, sentimental memories, immersion in the past, a feeling of an inextricable connection with the past. Sometimes a card speaks of a person for whom the present does not exist without a past, because he belongs to this past with all his heart. An indication that there is a very important, invaluable experience hidden there for him.

Sometimes this “past” actually refers to childhood experiences - the card may gravitate towards Freudian psychoanalysis, concepts rooted in childhood. There may be both idealization and dramatization. But more often it is romantic nostalgia, even to the point of a tendency to live in the past. This card shows the great importance of memories - the past is still alive in a person, that he returns to it in romantic dreams or in painfully nostalgic experiences.

Emotional revival and well-being, helping feelings. Positive attitude towards life. A feeling of balance and fullness, with favorable neighboring cards - happiness and harmony. Altruism, willingness to share, help and love. This card is in some ways the opposite of the previous one: unlike the Five of Cups, the Six of Cups characterizes a person as a self-confident and internally liberated person, capable of controlling his own emotions.

Balance, satisfaction, good mood.

According to the Six of Cups, memories of karmic knots tied in past lives are available.
The card describes a state of mind fueled by images of harmony. The ability to return to your original, authentic state, and this will help the upcoming update. For Crowley, this particular card correlates with finding one’s center, returning to the creative source. In the idyllic space of the Six of Cups, emotional desires become a creative force. This card symbolizes protected sacred space.

Banzhaf and Akron write that this card represents an encounter with the feminine principle and the source of motherhood. Light penetrating the eternal waters of the unknowable (Sun in Scorpio) as an ancient symbol of fertilization. Regarding astrological associations: “The second decade of Scorpio expresses the idea of deep awareness of the hidden processes of the collective unconscious, which gives power over them.

Observing the mechanisms of life and mastering them through the concept of their essence makes it possible to control the situation and elevates a person above others. This decade is ruled by the Sun, which controls the heart and at the same time the self-awareness of a person, merging feeling and reason into one. But, sometimes, Uranus or Neptune is considered the patron of this decade, since it does not abuse power, but tends to be reasonable about feelings, which can, as a consequence, lead to a somewhat detached view of the world. But its meaning is not in leaving for the other world, but in the ability to live in the present; this requires not only depth of thought, but also childlike spontaneity.

On the map, the seller, dressed as a jester (interesting interpretation!), selling flowers, gives a flower to a little girl with a smile. On the tablecloth of the counter is the St. Andrew's Cross of Sympathy. The seller sells goods - this reveals the nature of Scorpio, a passionate acquirer of wealth and human emotions. But white flowers in cups serve as a symbol of the fact that emotions are purified to the most primary and immediate manifestations: only those feelings are left that lead a person to the sources of life. Now he can bring them as a gift to someone who needs it: a passion dangerous for others has been transformed into universal love and sympathy. Participation in the passions of the world is perceived by the seller as a game - hence his clothes as a jester. But this does not prevent him from showing love: his power in the world is expressed as compassion for people.”

At this stage, the emotion is spiritualized and turns into love for the omnipresent. The manifestation of this card in a reading may indicate a situation that requires tolerance, elevation above vanity and true spirituality. This card seems to embody Virgo in all its highest manifestations: mercy, help, kindness, what the ancient Greeks called “therapy.”

According to another tradition, the exchange of cups is similar to that depicted in the Deuce, but if there were Father and Mother, then here are their children, Son and Daughter. From an alchemical point of view, the card contains a hint of the Great Work: six (Macrocosm) lilies in bowls, each with five (Microcosm) petals.

Light and Shadow (advice and caution)

Advice: confidently take on the intended task, everything will be fine. Indulge in nostalgia and memories that nourish the soul, try to make old dreams come true. Evaluate past experience, sum up, compare initial goals with specific achievements. Trust life and enjoy it with all your heart. If possible, return to a childhood state, when there was no place for the delusions and troubles of an adult. Let your loved ones know that they are precious and needed, protect them from bad emotions, but share all the good things. Remember that sincere feelings are more valuable than any treasure.

Warning: you shouldn’t look back and get stuck in the past, you need to live “here and now” without running away from reality. You should not regret missed opportunities, drown in painful thoughts about what was lost, or passionately desire what cannot be returned. Let the heart explore the present. Excessive attachment to traditions prevents you from making the necessary changes in life. One should not be overly generous - this is the case when the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This is a card of cooperation and “clean” affairs. Great creative potential, enjoyment of work. The meaning of this work may be therapy, providing assistance to the “old and young.”

A return to deferred projects, to plans that were once discussed. This is a card of “remakes” - literally and figuratively.

Professionally, this is a rather “crawfish” card, successfully describing work with children and the elderly, as well as history studies.

Resumption of payments. Reminder of past commitments. Restoring well-being after a period of instability. Cooperation in which both costs and income are fairly shared.

“Little happiness”, small profit, but without any risk. Good for beginner businessmen. People of an adventurous nature will, of course, not be satisfied with this.

The card is favorable for housing issues; it symbolizes the security and serene peace of your home. Home in retro style. Family nest. Improving the quality of life, improving the home and garden.

A card can have two fundamentally different meanings. One of them, in the old fashioned way, describes innocent flirting, playfulness, immature relationships and the ease of being.

Secondly, the relationship is not just mature, but specifically mature, having a fundamental basis in the past. If the Court or the Wheel of Fortune is nearby, this is almost a certificate from the karmic registry office. The traditional meaning of “nostalgia” in this case turns into “old yeast” - people already have an emotional pattern of relationships laid down in the past (other cards will tell more about its quality).

Often the Six of Cups means nostalgic experiences, the return of an object of long-time love, a “chance” meeting with a person whom you never expected to see again, or the resumption of a relationship after a “dead” period. This is the case when a promise for the future comes from the past in the form of very strong and important impulses - a renewal of feelings, fueled by past emotional experience, awaiting happiness and love. Romantic nostalgia sometimes truly nourishes and supports a person on his path, sitting deep in his heart as a precious legacy of the memory of feelings.

The card describes karmic reunions, connections full of emotional strength (and, as a rule, colossal intimate attraction). In communication there is a rich exchange of sexual and heartfelt energy, a flourishing of feelings and deep happiness.

Good intentions, sincerity, sincerity, trust based on what we have gone through and experienced together. The desire for unity, combined with a harmoniously balanced flow of feelings, gives a happy state when people have a great time and enjoy everything that happens. Reconciliation, generosity, kindness towards each other, support and trust. Mutual attraction, emotional intimacy, tenderness and soft sensuality, playfulness and affection, richness of sensations, erotic satisfaction, sexual pleasure. Joy, gratitude and security.

In general, Sixes (together with Twos and Tens) describe creative energy in the sphere of relationships, the flowering of feelings. But Fours, Sevens and Nines are rather destructive; these are to a large extent cards of loneliness (or, in any case, states that do not contribute to the development of relationships). The Six of Cups describes what, to a large extent, makes up the beauty of relationships - trembling tenderness, trust, affection. She is harmless and completely devoid of cynicism and vulgarity. There is nothing in her about the danger of injuring or the desire to wound. It creates an idyllic space of warmth and acceptance, where there is no jealousy and violence, anger and troubles, dependence and melancholy (it is not for nothing that one of the meanings of the card is “oasis”).

According to the Six of Cups, intimacy is experienced not only naturally, but also prayerfully. She is generous with love and the most romantic feelings, so many authors define its meaning as “deep happiness” and the fulfillment of cherished desires that have long lived in the heart. Former obstacles fade into oblivion, allowing you to fully enjoy the good times. Symbolically, it depicts a “charming garden of family joys” (and one of the traditional meanings of the card is marriage).

This card promises sensual pleasures, comfort and peace, and is very good for people of a “homely” nature or tired of adventures. Where we are at home, where we feel safe, we can give vent to our simplest and most natural feelings - kindness, tenderness, love, and there is no need to hide or “save” them. This is the willingness and opportunity to share the joys of love on all levels.

According to the Six of Cups, courtship occurs, “sweets and bouquets” are given, partners are generous with displays of tender feelings, and in general the best intentions are present. Sometimes the card can speak of indecision, lack of passion.
An old friendship that does not cause communication difficulties.

In general, this card is very favorable when trying to predict a relationship with a loved one. The Six of Cups says that the questioner will be able to achieve what he wants, not only without spoiling the relationship, but also making it much stronger than before.
If the alignment is not overshadowed by negative cards, then the Six of Cups may indicate good relationships with relatives, mutual assistance in a family consisting of several generations, and a sincere attitude towards family values and traditions.

Sometimes, according to this card, there is a reunion of representatives of the clan, the resumption of contacts with some family member who has not been seen for a long time. A new family member may turn out to be truly new, and not just a “well-forgotten old one” - family growth, the birth of a child, and christening follow this card. However, mystics would say that one does not exclude the other - a family can easily incarnate some representative of a clan who has already had the good fortune to belong to it in the past; the great-grandfather may well turn out to be his own great-grandson. Sometimes the Six of Cups indicates guardianship and adoption.

In a negative environment, the Six of Cups can take on such meanings as troubles with children, difficult relationships with the older generation, rebellion against parental authority, dependence on family, hanging on old models of perception.

Health status

The Reversed Six of Cups also indicates that the situation is not as innocent as it seems. In a negative environment, it can talk about violence experienced in childhood, or generally unsightly things that took place in the parental home.

The ancient interpreters indicate such a meaning as receiving an inheritance, although perhaps not as large as expected.
Modern tarot readers emphasize reluctance to fulfill parental responsibilities, leaving the family, running away from home.

Focus on the future as a denial of a difficult childhood, an escape from the original environment, an indicator of the unfavorable childhood experience (overly dominant parents, destructive influences, physical violence, etc.). A person strives for the future because he turns away from the past and wants nothing to do with it (and at the same time is still unable to live in the present). The need to rise above your roots, to make sure that nothing reminds you of the past. Breaking up with old friends.

Archetypal correspondences

Tarot cards are the path to understanding the secret and unknown. This is a way to touch the secrets of fate and get an answer to an exciting question. Today anyone can use ancient fortune telling. It is enough to know how to interpret cards. But you need to understand not only the major arcana, but also the “deck of minor secrets.” For example, the Six of Tarot Cups, the meaning of which completely depends on the theme of the layout.

Suit of Cups Tarot

The entire Tarot deck is conditionally divided into two groups. The first includes trump cards, which are also called the major arcana. The second group includes small cards, divided into four suits. Just like in a playing deck, each suit consists of a number series and several court symbols.

Cards of any suit symbolize a person’s life path. Also, each of the four suits is responsible for a certain area of life. So, for example, clubs are responsible for the intangible world, thoughts and aspirations of a person. And the suit of cups symbolizes feelings and desires, emotions and love.

If we draw a parallel with a playing deck, then the cups correspond to the suit of hearts. In the zodiac series they symbolize the triad of Water. These are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. These signs are sensitive and emotional, like the suit itself. She personifies intuition, temperament and belongs to the feminine principle.

All cup cards have their own interpretation. In any case, it concerns the emotional sphere, feelings and sensations. The Six of Cups of the Tarot has the most interesting interpretation, the meaning of which changes dramatically depending on the question asked by the querent.

Arcana Six of Cups

The card depicts a scene involving two children. The boy gives the girl a golden cup with flowers planted in it. The girl accepts the gift with surprise. Next to the guy there are five more such bowls, in which flowers also grow.

The children are in the garden near the old house. In some versions of the deck, an elderly couple, hugging each other, watches with affection behind the guys. The image on the map is quite symbolic.

The Six of Cups of the Tarot, whose meaning relates to thoughts and sensations, represents peace and tranquility. Children are safe in a comfortable home. They are where the manifestation of the most tender emotions is natural. The boy gives care and attention to the girl. The elderly couple in the background symbolizes peace and detachment from the hustle and bustle. They have already been through a lot, but they still love each other. The elderly watch the young characters who have yet to learn to express their feelings.

The Six of Cups encourages us to share our emotions. She appeals to people's feelings and insists that they cannot be saved. Say nice things, take care and show love. Cups standing at a distance symbolize energy that requires application, a supply of inspiration and tender feelings.

The card also represents little profit and no risk. Slow but steady progress is typical for people of a “homey” temperament.

Interpretation of the minor arcana

In any layout, all cards have two positions. Depending on whether the symbol appears in the correct or inverted orientation, Tarot answer will have different interpretations. The same rules apply to the Six of Cups, which can turn to either side towards the questioner.

Correct position

When correctly oriented, the Six of Cups has a positive meaning. She personifies peace and stability of the emotional sphere.

Meaning of the Six of Cups in the correct position:

In the correct position, the Six of Cups demonstrates harmony in a person’s inner world. He is generous and generous, and his thoughts are pure. The symbol represents wisdom and the ability to act in accordance with one’s feelings.

Following the Five, which acts as a map of adversity and troubles, the desired calm has come. Six symbolizes a favorable period when it is so useful to make plans for the future, dream and fulfill dreams.

The card embodies the calm that a person who has experienced a lot finds (in the Five). He has already learned to cope with emotions and control his experiences. Having gone through problems, he was reborn to a new life.

The cards next to each other are of great importance and will help clarify the Tarot answer. The magician who appears in the layout shows the opportunity to achieve what has long been desired. The Strength card indicates that the personality continues to improve and achieves success in this. Her peace is a sign of wisdom.

Incorrect position

A card received in an inverted position gives a radically different answer. The meaning of the symbol is somewhat distorted, although its interpretation remains more positive than negative.

Basic meanings of the reversed Six of Cups:

The reversed Six of Cups symbolizes the desire to escape from responsibility. A man is trying to burn his bridges behind him. Something happened for which he is not ready to take responsibility.

Such a symbol can also demonstrate fears associated with the past. Often they relate to childhood and phobias that extend into adulthood.

An inverted card speaks of a person’s desire to burst into the future, leaving behind the past. The experience and experience will remain in the past, but it is possible that this will lead to new problems.

The cards next to the lasso will help clarify such a vague interpretation. For example, the Five of Swords speaks of callousness as a result of stress. The person no longer listens to emotions. The Nine of Wands speaks of a reluctance to reckon with ideals and a challenge to society.

Six of Cups in Consciousness Analysis

The Six of Cups indicates a person who is lost in his past. He again and again returns his consciousness to the events he experienced, often ignoring the present day. The personality withdraws from reality, bitterly recalling the glory days of the past. She may also be tormented by the shock she experienced.

The card does not call for forgetting the past, but also requires a person to participate in the present. You cannot bury yourself in memory, otherwise today will be covered with the dust of indifference. Give your memories enough space, but do not elevate them to the rank of shrine. Otherwise, miss the bright things that today has in store for you.

Career, work and finance

It often happens that the Six of Cups falls in a professional scenario. At first glance, the emotional card has nothing to do with work, but Tarot is rarely mistaken when looking at the very essence of the problem.

Correct orientation

The Six of Cups represents peace, and in the matter of work it symbolizes the pleasure of activity. The person is in his place, his work satisfies him, he is fully realized. Even if there is a creative crisis at the moment, the querent has every opportunity to overcome it. The boy holding out the cup urges you to seize the chance given by fate.

If the deck is asked for advice, then the Six of Cups encourages doing good deeds. Act according to your conscience, treat others with patience and you will be rewarded. Do not look for material gain in good deeds. She will come on her own, and where you least expect her. The Star standing nearby enhances this meaning of the card.

If the Emperor appears next to the card, the Tarot calls for more zeal in work. Pay attention to business.

Wrong orientation

The Reversed Six of Cups demonstrates a desire to throw away old rules and take the untrodden path. Conservatism is alien to you; you crave innovation and strive for novelty.

Such a card may also represent experiences about the past. Some negative experience left an imprint on you that you still cannot get rid of. You will not be lucky enough to forget about what happened soon.

In any case, the card calls on a person to wake up and take a sober look at the situation. The problem is not as significant as it seems at first glance. Let reason into your life and listen less to emotional outbursts. You feel too much and think too little.

Personal relationships and love

Often, in fortune telling for love, the querent gets the symbol of 6 Tarot cups. The meaning in relationships of this sign is most often positive, regardless of its position.

Correct card position

Very often, such a card symbolizes a random event that will evoke strong memories. This could be a meeting of an old friend, a former lover, or a new acquaintance that will give references to past relationships.

The card indicates karmic connections, where the acquaintance and relationship of two people is predetermined by fate itself. These are strong harmonious unions based on sexual and spiritual attraction. Relationships promise happiness for both partners. This meaning is enhanced by the lasso Judgment, as well as the Wheel of Fortune standing nearby. The Moon also has a positive influence, which indicates love that has gone through all the hardships.

Incorrect card position

The 6 of Cups reversed speaks of a truce achieved the hard way. The symbol can also represent a situation that is much more complicated than it seems.

An incorrect position indicates parting with something old. There may be a break in strong ties, loss of friends or a quarrel in a relationship. In any case, the card does not have a fundamentally negative interpretation. It only warns of possible problems.

Fortune telling about health

The card indicates possible health problems that you inherited. Pathologies of the cardiovascular system, for example, aortic disease, cannot be excluded. Tarot also warns about the need to protect the nervous system. Neuroses and insomnia are possible.

The symbol warns of possible relapses of diseases. Often the disease seems to be defeated, but over time it can remind itself. Be careful.

ASTROLOGICAL MEANING:

The Moon in Pisces as a symbol of aching, nostalgic memories, or the Moon in Cancer as a symbol of romantic reverie.

Straight position:

Six of Cups: The appearance of this card in a reading may mean that the situation will require true spirituality, tolerance and elevation above vanity from you. This is mercy, help, kindness. It also symbolizes memories, past infatuation, faded images.

Reverse position:

An inverted card means: new opportunities opening up, expanding one’s worldview, foreseeing the future. Perhaps your plans will require adjustments in the near future.

A word of caution: don't pretend to be a child, don't try to be younger than you are.

6.Everything will be as before.

General value:

This map takes us to the land of memories. It shows that the past is still alive in us, that we return to it in romantic dreams or in painfully nostalgic experiences. Such a detached and sentimental view of things can either clarify and brighten the picture of the world, or cloud and darken it. And, since the card is, in one way or another, connected with the past, if asked appropriately, it can point to some episodes or impressions of our childhood.

Job:

The Six of Cups suggests that we perceive our work more romantically than pragmatically, and it is its ideal idea of it that captivates us, and not the everyday routine. In creative professions this is even a plus, however, where accuracy and organization are required, this approach only hinders both us and those who work with us. If we are in danger of losing our jobs, orders, or retraining, then this card indicates a return to childhood desires, when we wanted to become this and that when we grow up. And, depending on how much of our childhood desires have come true, it personifies either sadness and hopelessness, or joy and a surge of new strength. If we are simply having difficulties at work or at work, then it may mean that we want to return to those times (or to that job) when we succeeded in everything.

Consciousness:

We look back, most often to childhood, or indulge in “mind wandering,” as Buddhists say, that is, we often (and usually bitterly) think about something. The images that appear in this case can be embodied in poems, paintings and other works of art. But they can also cause a desire to escape from reality, and simply demonstrative tomfoolery. Here's how Philip Metman writes about it: “The one who tries to fulfill his childhood hopes in adulthood will never reach maturity. However, the one who suppresses them, preventing them from being realized or acquiring a new quality, immediately becomes an old man.”

Personal relationships:

Here, this card most often means warmth and kindness, characteristic of the period of fairy-tale love. Sometimes - memories of such a period. It is in this area that the dreamy, sometimes sweetly sentimental side of this card is most strongly expressed, although there is poetry and genuine romance in it.

When divining for different events, the Six of Cups Tarot takes on meanings that may differ from its main one. Based on the subject of fortune telling and the position of the card itself, the layout is analyzed into meanings.

The main characteristics of the lasso

Card 6 of Cups Tarot belongs to the Minor Arcana of the suit of Cups. It describes the emotional state in a specific situation.

The most common image is of two children: a boy and a girl. They are at the fair surrounded by vases of flowers. And the boy gives one of them to the girl.

Key map concepts:

youth;
reluctance to part with childhood;
joy;
sincerity of feelings;
surrounded by loved ones;
old relationships;
trust in your partner.

The main meaning of the card is the joyful memory of past events. All the bad is left behind, and the good begins to acquire more and more colors.

Value in upright position

When upright, the Six of Cups Tarot signifies generosity, selfless help and a kind heart. This is a symbol of a faithful friend and sincere partner.

This lasso carries a full range of positive emotions. Given the situation, this is a sign that the black streak is over and you need to get back to work as quickly as possible.

Everything will be easy, and small incidents will only act as an incentive for further development.

Reversed meaning

Reversed card 6 of Cups of the Tarot - the meaning of fear of responsibility. Lack of self-confidence will not allow you to take full advantage of the opportunities provided.

In the scenario for a person, the lasso says that it is easier for him to completely abandon his beliefs than to try to defend them.

Also, an inverted lasso speaks of the fear of being left alone with oneself and one’s thoughts, of the desire to escape from the past and memories.

Meaning in relationships

When fortune telling for love and relationships, it is important to take into account the position in which the lasso fell.

Straight position

In a relationship reading, the Arcana of the 6 Cups of the Tarot has the meaning of the unexpected appearance of an old lover. This lasso describes a situation when a chance meeting with an old acquaintance suddenly awakens long-forgotten feelings in the soul.

Building a relationship will not be easy, but if it succeeds, it will be strong and long-lasting, and the love between partners will only become stronger over time.

This lasso talks about the connection between two people on an energetic level that attracts them to each other, wherever they are.

Inverted position

In relationships, the Six of Cups Tarot card has the meaning of truce. Regardless of how much pain has been caused to both partners, the best course of action is to forget about the relationship and move on.

The lasso can also have a more negative meaning - separation or divorce. This card also warns that love between two people, built on bright feelings, is only on one side. The other half only allows himself to be loved or seeks some benefit from the relationship.
