Leaving "Known" Pleasures
I asked the tarot if moving out is a good decision for the future...(I am especially concerned because my parents, obviously, are not too keen on it at all...which makes me more hesitant)...and I got six of cups.
What would this card be trying to tell me in regards to this question?? Thank you
Whenever you ask the tarot a yes/no question you run into a problem. For the most part, Tarot isn't good at yes/no questions. The answers are often, "Yes if you take this and that into consideration, but no if you think about this or that...." Which is to say, tarot doesn't make decisions for you. It only offers you insights that you may not know so that
you can make the decision.
In this instance, the cards gave you the 6/Cups. As said, this is a card about "pleasure' BUT--and this is a very, very important "but"--it's about known pleasures. This is why it's linked with nostalgia. Because it's about pleasures you are familiar with, ones you can rely on. Like knowing that coffee from a certain place that you've been going to for years will be delicious--as compared to that new place which you haven't tried and have no idea how the coffee will be.
What the cards are telling you isn't "yes," the decision is right or "no" it's wrong, but rather the cards are offering you a question and a challenge: Are you ready to give up your comfortable, known pleasures? Are you willing to be homesick? Are you willing to grow up and give up what you know for a new and different and adult life? If you are, then it's the right decision. If you're not, then it's not the right decision.
Which is to say, I don't agree with Tommyross at all. The cards aren't telling you that this is going to be a pleasurable decision--not even that it's going to be sweet, nice or passing the cup. They're telling you that we all have to grow up and give up some of what we know and are comfortable with if we want to move on with our lives. We have to say good-by to parents, friends, and that coffee we love. Are you ready to do that?
You have to face this and say, "Yes, I'm ready" before it is the right decision.
