General Interpretation
The 6 of Cups is one of those cards that is tied to the past and in particular nostalgia.
There is nothing wrong with nostalgia provided you are not letting it disproportionately affect your present. From that point of view it has the ability to be positive or negative depending on how you are letting the past affect you now.
If you are making decisions based on present circumstances as well as bearing in mind the past then overall the card will be positive. If, on the other hand, you are making decisions in the present based solely on the past and ignoring current circumstances then it has the potential to be negative.
Friends and Family
You will likely find that both friends and family will be making calls upon your time more frequently and more earnestly than they have in the recent past.
You might even find that friends that you had forgotten even existed will suddenly reappear and become part of your life once again. This will have some potential to be long-lasting but more often than not it will be a temporary reappearance. They are simply revisiting what once was and you are part of that.
You might also find yourself being contacted by family that you have not heard from in quite a while and that may even include family members that are estranged from you.

Love and Relationships
If you are in a committed relationship even if it is one that is very longstanding, you are likely to find yourselves being taken full circle back to the beginning. Effectively the 6 of Cups indicates that your relationship will undergo a rekindling of the love and passion that it had in the very early days of your being together.
If you are looking for love the 6 of Cups can sometimes indicate that someone from your past will appear and become a part of your present. However, it is more likely that you will find an new love by getting in touch with people from your past, or perhaps even revisiting somewhere you once lived and re-establishing the connections you once had.
Spiritual Growth
You may find that revisiting the spiritual rituals of your past will help rekindle the spiritual fires of the present.
Taking the time and making the effort to concentrate on matters of a spiritual nature and getting into the habit of doing so will help move you forward.
Work and Career
If you are in a job but feel that the time has come to move for whatever reason then the appearance of the 6 of Cups suggests that you should look to your past.
Get in touch with old friends, colleagues from a previous job, look online for jobs in a town or city that you once lived in, or perhaps even visit that self-same town and rekindle contacts from the past.
And if you are looking for a job then you should really do exactly the same. The key to movement in the present is to go back in time.
Message from Spirit
Just because you are grown up doesn’t mean that you cannot view the world in the present with the childlike wonder that you once had. It will benefit you to do so.
