Upright Meaning:
As far as your career, when you pull the Six of Cups upright, this is a good time for you to look back on how you got to where you are now professionally. We all learn a lot over the years at our various jobs, and the Six of Cups is encouraging you to stop and do so right now.
There are lessons to be learned for how you rose through the ranks in the past, what you learned, and who helped you get there. The Six of Cups upright is telling you to stop and think about those lessons and how they can help you right now.
More focused on money, the Six of Cups is about support and charity. You may be getting an inheritance or a low-interest loan for a new venture.
Whatever you need financially, it will be given to you, and it’s possible that it will be given without a need to be paid back. You may also be the one offering this support depending on where the card falls in your Tarot spread.
The Sixes are about support, so perhaps a family member will fund your next project, or maybe they will gift you their home to move into rent-free, maybe they will give you a down payment on your own place.
Reversed Meaning:
If the Six of Cups is reversed in your money and career reading, you may be dwelling too much on the past to excel in the moment and future. All industries change and evolve, and if you aren’t doing so with them, you’re doomed to be left behind. Take a class in a computer program you feel you’re weak in, or ask a coworker if you can buy them dinner in exchange for a quick tutorial. Improving these skills will improve your work productivity.
This could also indicate that the work you are doing is no longer challenging or interesting for you. What once thrilled you now bores you. If you feel this way, I advise you to move on and find a new job.
The good news is that pulling this card reversed in a money reading will indicate you are financially stable enough to become more independent. If you’ve been scared to move out of your parents’ house, now is a good time. You are no longer a child, which is illustrated by this card behind blocked, so it’s time to become more independent.
If the Six of Cups appears reversed to you and you’re considering making any moves towards more independence, the time is right. Go for it!
