When you draw the Six of Cups reversed, the card signals that you likely are living in the past and recalling the happy moments of childhood. You are likely to try to reconnect with old friends or even a former lover who left you long ago, and this may help you to regain a sense of joy and happiness. There is also a chance that you are refusing to let go of these former relationships because you are angry at their departure. But this is unhealthy, as it is holding you back from experiencing new life experiences. If you come across this card, take a walk in nature or reread a children’s book with an intention to have fun and create excitement again.
The reversed Six of Cups occasionally shows that you feel restricted in some way and that you may need to find creative ways to escape this restricted reality. There may be a lot of anxiety and fear around you, and you may be worrying that the world is closing in on you. As a result, you are becoming increasingly closed off from your inner self and the world around you.
