It is time to grow up. When the 6 of Cups shows up in your reading, it is a sign that you should return to the innocent pleasures of childhood, but when this card appears reversed, it is a sign that you can’t keep looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, and must face reality as it is, and not what could be. Perhaps you have been dealing with family recently, or examining your own legacy and where you come from, and you find yourself less than enthralled with what you have found—perhaps you thought certain people were one way, only to find out they are quite another, or perhaps you have had to be a support for people who should have been a support for you in normal circumstances.

You may also feel like you have had to play the adult in situations where that is not the case, and that other people have not been carrying their weight in a certain matter. If you feel burnt out from this, then this card is a sign that you must tend to your own emotional wellbeing, and not allow others to continue to make unfair requests of you, or expect you to bend over backwards in order to meet their needs. It may not be easy, but separating yourself from these figures will prove very rewarding and fulfilling, both in the here and now, and down the line.
