"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 Taurus in Work and Career
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 work through a Taurus lens, the Six of Cups says that you feel like work is where you prove your value stays constant, a place you have learned completely, and something you protect from disruption. This has either led to becoming irreplaceable in a role that stopped teaching you anything, or to moving deliberately into new work and building mastery there from the ground up. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. 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 a resentment that has to be said out loud. Whatever form it takes, it is recovering, with the loss still in the room.
