The Six of Cups is the gentle return to childhood, the reconnection with old friends, and the healing power of kindness. The image of children exchanging flowers speaks of innocence, generosity, and the pure emotional exchanges that occur before we learn to guard our hearts. This card often heralds reunions, the return of old friends, or the rekindling of connections long dormant.
In Qabbalistic terms, this card corresponds to Tiphareth, Beauty, in Briah—the harmonious center that reconciles past and present in a moment of emotional grace. The Six of Cups teaches that the past can inform the present, but must not define it. It invites you to draw wisdom and warmth from your history while remaining open to the new experiences that await.
