Description of the Tarot card Six of Cups

On the Six of Cups tarot card, a salesman in a jester's outfit often depicts a salesman in a jester's outfit who gives a little girl a flower in a goblet, which symbolizes a look back into his past, childhood. White flowers in cups, standing near the seller, serve as a symbol of the fact that a person's emotions have been purified to the most primary manifestations: only those feelings that lead a person to the primary sources are left. Now he can bring them as a gift to someone who needs it, and a dangerous passion for others has been transformed into universal love and sympathy.

It shows that the past is still alive in us, that we return to it in romantic dreams or in painfully nostalgic experiences. Happy memories, old friends or lovers hold a special place in our lives. However, Arkan also indicates that a person who has experienced a lot in the past begins to feel reborn to a new life.

Questions

Are you holding on to old beliefs that prevent you from enjoying pleasure?

MAIN VALUE:

This card in its meaning is in many ways similar to the previous card of the suit of Cups " Luxury "Nevertheless, there are absolutely no such characteristics as kindness, honesty or decency in the qualities she reflects. However, unlike " abundance "the aspect of sexual desire and sexual satisfaction is much more intense here.

THESIS:

"I get great pleasure from sex with you. I don't know how it all ends, but all I need is you."

RELATIONSHIP:

Strong sex drive and sexual satisfaction in relationships; mercantile interest; mature and sustainable relationships; confidence in the financial viability of the partner.

PERSONALITY:

Sexual preoccupation or heightened sexuality; materialistic approach to life; high balance; self confidence; ability to take action and make decisions.

WORK, BUSINESS:

Successful flow and development of business; significant profit; high paying job; job satisfaction; stable position in the position.

HEALTH:

Sustained positive dynamics of recovery.

Once, when I was in the tenth grade, in one smart book on sex education, I read the following phrase: " sex life this, of course, is not all that family life men and women, but if she is not in order, then nothing else can be in order. "And having now lived to forty-five years, I have repeatedly convinced myself that this statement is very close to the truth. The pleasure that people get from sex, often turns into an obsession for which they are ready to sacrifice everything.However, it is clear that, despite the real importance of this side of our relationship, the role of sex in modern society is very much exaggerated. In the end, after all, we are not animals, so that for the sake of physical pleasure we forget about everything else. Traditional family values, our responsibility to our children, wives and husbands is incomparably more important than the requirements of our lustful nature. Satiation with new partners is as inevitable as with old ones. So think carefully before you "throw yourself into the pool", destroying what has been built over the years and making unhappy those with whom you have shared your successes and failures for many years. No doubt it's not worth it.

Six of Cups

Pleasure

Sun in Scorpio.
10°-20° Scorpio.
November 2 - November 12.
Original Title: Lord of Pleasure.
The original composition in the Golden Dawn system: a hand is extended from the clouds at the bottom of the card, holding stems of lotuses or water lilies. Six flowers bend over the bowls, one above each; water pours from the lotuses into the bowls, but the bowls are not filled to the brim.
The color of Tiphereth on the Queen's scale is yellow (gold).
Colors of the Sun on four scales: orange; golden yellow; juicy amber; amber with red streaks.
Scorpio colors on four scales: greenish blue; dull brown; very dark brown; a mixture of bluish-gray indigo and brown.
Formula: Six (Tiphereth) + Chalices (Bria) + Sun in Scorpio = PLEASURE.

At the stage of the Six of Cups - Pleasure, dwelling in the magnificent palace of Tiphereth, the solar sephirah - the suit comes into balance again. The Four and Five of Cups are a thing of the past and forgotten like a bad dream (after an overly heavy dinner and an extra glass of wine). As soon as we opened our eyes, a dizzying understanding overtook us: we found ourselves in the very card, which is a direct reflection of the Ace of Cups. The sun is unimaginably happy in the sphere of Tiphareth and shines twice as warm and pleasant as usual, generously illuminating and warming Scorpio in his sensual and cheerful incarnation. If the Six of Cups comes up first in a reading, it's hard to resist the temptation to stop there and stop guessing. This card is just great. And Crowley is of the same opinion:

“The name of this card, “Pleasure,” should be understood in the highest sense: it means well-being, ease, satisfaction and harmony of natural forces, which does not require the slightest effort or strain. The idea of the fulfillment of desires, both natural and artificially caused, is alien to this card. But on the other hand, here the realization of the sexual Will is clearly presented: this is indicated by the controlling sephirah, and the planet, and the elements, and the sign. .

The sea ripples with long, gentle waves, and the lotuses literally dance, weaving the stems into symmetrical patterns and arcs. Water again pours from the lotuses into the bowls, but does not fill them to the brim. Four of the six bowls are tilted and seem about to fall; but in fact they are firmly pressed against the stems by the very pressure of the water.

The Ace corresponds to the sephirah Kether, located on the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life directly above Tiphareth (Six). - Note. transl.

In the foreground of the 6 Cups are depicted two: a boy and a girl. Moreover, the boy is trying to hand the girl a heavy, even at first glance, vase of flowers.

A detail of the map that is often overlooked is the guard on the left side of the map, with his back to the viewer.

The children are warmly dressed, suggesting early spring or late autumn.

The meanings of the 6 (Six) Cups (Bowls) Tarot, which were proposed by Waite, are used almost unchanged today. The card is about happiness, a happy past, childhood. All the negative meanings of the card disappeared over time, and the positive ones only intensified. And today, the meanings of the six Tarot cups speak of joy, friendly help, the pleasure of meeting old friends.

Meaning in relationships

It is believed that children establish relationships easily, and some radical psychologists insist that true friendship is possible only in childhood. The Tarot card of 6 (Six) of Cups (Bowls) just shows the meaning of true friendships. People feel sympathy for each other, but at the same time they do not seek to turn relationships into love ones, to make them more intimate.

The card may indicate a group of like-minded people; a team united by common goals and beliefs; people who are accustomed to work together and relax together.

Open - closed card

Open map. A good image is a playground where children meet, get to know each other easily, make friends and just as easily part.

Relationship Intensity

The card involves intensive communication, joint games, participation in collective processes. Relationship intensity ranges from medium to high.

Relationship scenario: love, family, relatives, work

The main scenario of a relationship is friendship. At the same time, the connection between people is not as close and strong as in 3 of Cups. This has its pros and cons.

3 of Cups does not imply the presence of personal space, division into yours and mine - only ours. In 6 of Cups, friends respect each other's personal space.

For young children, having a secret space is very important. Lockable drawer, lockable box where they can store their secrets and treasures. At 6 of Cups, adults will never open this box without asking. Friends respect your own opinion and the right to be different from them. Very good model for almost any type of relationship.

However, the bond between people is weaker than 3 of Cups. There are no irreplaceable ones: leaving the group is not a crisis and a catastrophe for either the individual or the group.

Friendship scenarios can be conditionally divided into yang and yin, boyish and girlish. In yin, friends exchange recipes, books, go to the movies or exhibitions together, and then discuss what they see. The map is more typical of such a scenario of friendship. Yang variant is active. Friendly jokes, shoves. Very similar to puppies. Theoretically, the map allows this, but this scenario is closer to 5 Staves.

In working relationships, people enjoy spending time together at and after work. "We've done a great job and we're going to have a great time."

Psychological condition

The psychological state corresponding to the 6 of Cups is even, calm, friendly. A person is confident in himself and his environment, he does not expect a dirty trick. There is nothing that would make him anxious or suspect others of unseemly actions and thoughts. On the contrary, he receives a positive feedback from his environment and can count on friendly participation and support.

The person is friendly, open to communication, experiencing positive emotions. Relations are smooth, calm, non-demonstrative. Unlike the 5 Staffs, the participants do not compete with each other, but join forces to achieve a result.

Significance in matters of health

First, we can talk literally about the diseases of children. Secondly, about childhood illnesses manifested in an adult. And, thirdly, the map may indicate the consequences of illnesses suffered in childhood.

As a treatment, the card offers the very best of all possible ways: tea with honey, warm blanket, teddy bear. Friendly participation and care.

with card : Chatting with friends can disappoint you

Business and finance, in professional activities

Work with friends. The card may indicate that you are currently working in a fairly friendly team. The 6 of Cups emphasizes cooperation rather than competition. Collaboration between departments and colleagues, open exchange of information. Mutual training, helping those who are lagging behind, discussing problems and real help to each employee.

Stability, manageability, controllability

Stable, manageable situation. It doesn’t take much effort to keep income at a good level and even slowly increase it. On the contrary, the card indicates that the situation is favorable, with a tendency to improve, and will be so for a long time.

Ways to Increase Income (The Key to Increasing Income)

It is very easy to work in a friendly atmosphere, in the company of like-minded people. Sincere, friendly relations, cooperation, mutual assistance for the sake of a common cause - an excellent incentive for effective work. The principle of cooperation, not competition.
It's good when there are no falsehoods and hidden motives - everything is in plain sight! One for all and all for one.

General state of finances and trends

Very good, stable condition. Right now, the income is stable, constant, nothing threatens him. But this is the average level of income, not a lot, but not a little - enough. The long-term forecast indicates that this balance will be maintained.

Positive and negative impact on income

Working in a team of friends and like-minded people certainly has a positive impact on performance. By joining forces, people achieve more than alone or in competition. But on the condition that this relationship is built on a true foundation, without the exploitation of the team spirit for selfish purposes.

One of the frequent cases that negatively affects income: under the guise of a “friend”, “comrade-in-arms”, “associate”, lovers of raking in heat with the wrong hands can hide. Or the principle - die yourself, and help out a comrade - is brought to the point of absurdity.

Another point is directly related to the meaning of "children". The motto “All the best for children” was transformed by merchants into “All the most precious for children”. Buying children's goods costs a pretty penny, despite the fact that in most cases it is a one-time consumer goods.
