Six of Cups

Water · Cups
The Six of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A child hands another a cup filled with white flowers in a walled courtyard, five more cups of flowers nearby.

Upright

  • Memory
  • Innocence
  • Kindness

Traditionally the past arriving kindly — an old friendship, a childhood habit, a simple gift. It invites you to notice what you inherited that was good.

Reversed

  • Nostalgia
  • Stuck in the past
  • Sentimentality

Read reversed, the past holds on: a memory preferred to the present, or fondness for a version of something that was not quite like that.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
