Six of Cups tarot card

"Nostalgia isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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.

Upright
NostalgiaInnocenceReunionChildhood

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.

Reversed

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 Taurus in Love and Relationships

The Builder

Cups are the water suit, so the Six of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sextiles Taurus, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. Taurus is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Upright, the recovery is underway with the loss still in the room.

When reading about relationships through a Taurus lens, the Six of Cups says that you feel like your partner is a life you tend carefully, a person whose patterns you have memorized, and someone who should want the same future you do. This has either meant staying in something comfortable that stopped being kind, or building something so solid with someone that both of you know what the next ten years will hold. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.

In practice that can look like an old love resurfacing, or new love. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
