In the garden near a cozy old house, a boy hands a girl a cup full of flowers; next to it are the other cups, also filled with flowers.

The Aquarius Tarot shows us an old woman who has finally achieved the peace she was striving for.

This card means comfort and peace. Where we are at home, where we feel safe, we can give vent to our most simple and natural feelings — kindness, tenderness, love. There is no need to «save» feelings, says this card, let your loved ones know that they are dear and necessary to you. Protect them from the bad emotions that visit your soul, but boldly share joy with them.

«Little happiness», a profit of three cents on the dollar, but without any risk. Good for beginners and people of a «homey», cozy disposition; for enterprising, adventurous people — stagnation, swamp

Inverted means that there will not be such a profit (such happiness), but there will be nothing bad either, everything will remain as it was.

(E. Kolesov «Azbuka Tarot»)

DESCRIPTION: A boy offers a bowl of flowers to a little girl. In the background you can see a colorful village landscape, a house with a thatched roof and a stone tower. In the foreground there are four bowls in a row — also filled with flowers. Another bowl of flowers stands on a nearby podium decorated with a heraldic cross. Element: Water.

EXPLANATION: This card represents happiness or pleasant memories based on past acquaintances. Childish joy fills your heart. Perhaps you will meet an old friend, receive a gift or some unexpected news, or inherit something. The Six of Cups also symbolizes new opportunities — so you may be offered a new job in a new place. In terms of personal relationships, this is a good time to appreciate the help and support you receive from your partner.

REVELATION MEANING: Instead of living in the present, you live in the past. Your ideas and life values ​​​​are outdated. The presentation of awards that you feel you deserve is postponed. The recognition you thought you were entitled to went to someone else.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT LESSON: Reflect on how your relationships and the lessons you've learned in life have enriched you. But after that, be prepared to move on — we all have to emerge from the past, live in the present, and be open to what lies ahead.

WORK: The Six of Cups suggests that we perceive our work more romantically than pragmatically, and we are captivated by its ideal idea of ​​​​it, and not by the daily routine. In creative professions, this is even a plus, however, where accuracy and organization are required, such an approach only hinders both us and those who work with us. If we are threatened with losing a job, orders or retraining, then this card indicates a return to childhood desires, when we wanted to become this or that when we grow up. And, depending on how much of our childhood desires have come true, it represents either sadness and hopelessness, or joy and a surge of new strength. If we simply have difficulties at work or at work, then it may mean that we want to return to those times (or to that job) when we succeeded in everything.

CONSCIOUSNESS: We look back, most often to childhood, or indulge in «mind wandering,» as Buddhists say, that is, we often (and usually bitterly) think about something. The images that appear in this case can be embodied in poems, paintings, and other works of art. But they can also cause a desire to escape from reality, or simply demonstrative foolishness. Here is how Philip Metman writes about this: «He who tries to realize his childhood hopes in adulthood will never reach maturity. However, he who suppresses them, not allowing them to be embodied or to acquire a new quality, immediately becomes an old man.»

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Here this card most often means the warmth and kindness characteristic of the period of fairy-tale love. Sometimes — memories of such a period. It is in this area that the dreamy, sometimes saccharine-sentimental side of this card is most strongly expressed, although there is poetry and genuine romance in it.
