SIX OF CUPS

Upright

Six of Cups brings harmony, generosity and forward movement in emotion, love and intuition. Read it as an invitation, not a verdict: the card shows the energy available, you choose the use.

Reversed

Reversed, Six of Cups warns of one-sided giving or an unpaid debt in matters of emotion, love and intuition, or of moodiness, withdrawal or emotional overflow. Name the pattern honestly and it loosens.
