Six of Cups

On the image, a little boy in a red hood is handing over a cup filled with white flowers to a smaller girl wearing a white scarf. The girl accepts the gift with a bit of shyness but joyfully. In the foreground, five additional cups filled with flowers are present. In the background, the buildings of a castle are visible, where the children seem to feel safe in its courtyard. The young children also represent our childhood memories, from which we can draw strength by reaching back.

Dwelling in the past, Nostalgia
Reversed, the Six of Cups warns of being stuck in the past, which can hinder present growth and progress. Perhaps there's an overglorification of the past, and optimism for anything good happening thereafter is diminished.
