"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 Pisces in Health and Energy
The Dreamer
Cups are the water suit, so the Six of Cups sits in Pisces. That makes this Pisces's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Pisces already believes it is good at: say the feeling to the person it is about. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.
When reading about health through a Pisces lens, the Six of Cups says that you feel like your body is a signal you can ignore, pain is something to numb or postpone until it screams, and admitting you're suffering feels like complaining or demanding too much. This has either kept you functional through crisis by numbing out completely, or meant that by the time you pay attention the problem has grown teeth. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Pisces blind spot in it is the moment they have to stop being useful and admit they're drowning.
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.
