"Nostalgia isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A card about honoring your inner child, leaning into your own innocence, and first loves. Remembering the good times and feeling at ease in a place or with a person. Also highly tied to family and children.
You feel safe and at home with a childlike sense of wonder. You're being called to reconnect with your inner child. Recall a time when you were truly safe and at ease, try to focus on what made you feel that way--seek out things that help you recreate that feeling (perhaps pick up a hobby you loved as a kid). Romantically, your current/future partner's inner child and yours are becoming best friends.
Your inner child is throwing a tantrum, they don't want things to change and they are afraid. This is keeping you stuck in past cycles. You must parent yourself through this time. Be the person that makes you feel safe.

Six of Cups for Capricorn in Health and Energy
The Architect
Cups are the water suit, so the Six of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sits directly opposite Capricorn, so this card describes the half of the situation Capricorn habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
When reading about health through a Capricorn lens, the Six of Cups says that you feel like your body is a tool for getting things done, something to ignore until it stops working, and less important than the deadline or the person depending on you. This has either taught you hard lessons that finally made you listen or left you running on fumes, surprised each time your body refuses to cooperate. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Capricorn blind spot in it is being useless, being a burden, being the person who could not hold it together.
In practice that can look like wanting to be looked after. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
