The Six of Cups symbolizes the loving sanctuary of familiar friends and places. In this safe haven, kindness and compassion flow freely and we can relax fully into who we really are. We can enjoy life's simple pleasures: sunshine on a spring day, good food, quiet time with a friend.

Just for now, leave the worries of the world behind. Live fully in the present. Even a few moments of such deep ease can seep into and change your life.

If you are not experiencing the joy promised in the Six of Cups, you might look to your memories for such a time. In fact, this is traditionally the card of nostalgia, looking back on happier days. But more than just longing for a perfect and irretrievable time, reminiscing can help you draw insight from the past to to enrich the present. Forgotten dreams may resurface with renewed potential. Remember, the innocence and simple joys of youth are always available within.
