SIX OF CUPS DESCRIPTION
The Six of Cups teaches us that our memories can be a treasure trove of joy and valuable lessons. It is also a card of pure and innocent pleasure. As the cup on top of the garden pillar shows, the Six of Cups is also a card of pleasure. It’s a reference to the Ace of Cups, symbolizing the essence of joy.
The white flowers in the Six of Cups show that this pleasure is pure and innocent. The row of cups across the bottom references the Four of Cups, suggesting that what you’re seeing in the Six of Cups is a vision or reminiscence, not an actual event.
In the Six of Cups, the two figures symbolize the connection between the past and future. The taller one, in red and blue is a dwarf, the past. His colours state that these memories are emotional rather than factual and joyful. The child on the right in the Six of Cups in the future.
Her red headscarf is a symbol of her enthusiasm. The leopard-spotted over garment represents her strength and courage, but her white mittens are a sign of her innocence.

Look at that shiny mansion’s shadowy grey courtyard in the Six of Cups. That sentry patrolling it, symbolizing safety and stability, is of that same ghostly colour. They’re phantoms. You can’t stay there forever.
The 6 of Cups is often a card about nostalgia; looking back on how things "used" to be. It can be (but is not always) connected with children or childhood.

General: It's important not to spend too much time and effort thinking about the "good old days." We all have happy memories to reflect on from time to time, but if we start thinking that the "best of all years have gone by", then that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Work: This is an excellent time for work that involves some level of creativity. If your work does not make a point to spend a little time drawing, painting, or writing, scrapbooking - whatever you fancy that allows a little creativity - in your personal time. Your day job will go better for you as a result.
Love: If you're currently in a romantic relationship, this card can indicate that a relationship may need to be "refocused" towards the future. Talk about your goals and dreams. Try new things.
It's important now not to be stuck in the past. On occasion, this card will signify the reappearance of an old lover in your life. Think long and hard before re-starting an old romance.
Finances: If you're looking for ways to invest money or to make a little extra money, pay particular attention to things that are retro or nostalgic or things that appeal to children. Money may come to you from someone from your past or through inheritance.
Health: If you're experiencing health problems, the appearance of this card can mean that you need to truly go back to childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie.
(Hint: the emotional is very often tied to the physical.) Talk therapy may be very useful. You may want to make a point to talk to family members about the physical problems that they have faced and make sure that you have a clear idea of your family's medical history.

However, this does not have to be a bad thing, it's simply that your rose coloured glasses are off now and you are seeing your surroundings more clearly. Think long and hard before deciding if you need to take some sort of action due to perceived wrongs in the workplace. Many battles are worth fighting, many are not. Trust yourself to know the difference.. Love: The reversed 6 of Cups says that you are likely to begin dealing soon with some issues that you've been avoiding with regards to love. If you are in a committed relationship, things that you had "swept under the rug" to keep harmony may resurface and need to be dealt with soon.
