The six of cups is very clearly indicative of simple pleasures that bring real joy to our lives. The two figures on the sides of the Cups are children that signify the child like nature of humans to forgive and forget and embrace all that life has to offer. A mother offering a child some milk or a friend working extra to lend a helping hand, all may be small deeds but do impart joy to our lives. The Six of cups asks you to take into account these small acts of kindness that fill our lives with so much more abundance and joy.
It is the memories of these simple joys in life that make the journey of life so very sweet and memorable.
Just as children are to be treasured, so is the sweetness of the six of Cups to be absorbed wholly in our lives. It is reminding you of the basic innate quality in you to take the simple pleasures of life and forge ahead with grace and child like abundance.
When the tarot six of cups appears reversed in a reading, it stands for you being totally engrossed in a fast paced life with no time to enjoy life so much so that you have almost forgotten yourself. Give yourself the time and enjoyment you deserve.
