Six of Cups in love questions
Yes for an ex coming back, a childhood friend becoming more, and relationships with tenderness in them. "Will he return" often draws this card and the lean is yes. Reversed, the return is a repeat of the old problems.
Six of Cups in work and money questions
Yes for a former employer, an old contact, a job in your home town or work with children. For a radical new direction the card looks backward instead; its yes belongs to the familiar.
Six of Cups for "when" questions
In a while, with a sense of the past. Six of Cups often means a return after a gap, sometimes around an anniversary or a visit home.
Example questions answered by the Six of Cups
"Will my ex come back?" Yes is the lean; this is the return-of-the-past card. Ask the reversed meaning whether you want the same thing again. "Should I reconnect with an old friend?" Yes. The card is that reconnection. "Will moving back home be a good decision?" Yes, upright. Reversed, you are moving back to avoid moving forward.
What should you do after drawing the Six of Cups?
With a Yes from the Six of Cups, act on it. Honor your past and the lessons it holds, but don't let nostalgia prevent you from embracing present opportunities. Use childhood memories to heal and inspire, not to escape current responsibilities.

What does Six of Cups reversed energy mean?
