6 of Cups Stalking Me

[TheReverseOrder]

I hope this is the right place for this.

The 6 of Cups has been following me around. It will either fall out of the deck or flip over to stare at me while shuffling. This has been true when doing a reconciliation reading(s).


I ask how the recent ex feels about me: 10 of Cups, 6 of Cups (I've asked a few times, this keep popping up)

I shuffle the cards and what falls out?: 6 of Cups

I ask why bother believing we'll get back together: 6 of Cups, the World

I ask what to think about for the day: 6 of Cups


I can be asking about my week/month and there it is. In my deck (the Halloween Tarot) it shows a man ghost giving a female ghost a flower. It is a card of reconciliation. I would normally think, "hey, reconciliation" as I often do when seeing this card. However, and perhaps this is on an emotional not intuitive level, I can't see us getting back together as he seems quite cross with me.

It has shown up usually in the Future/Outcome position of my larger spreads lately. Any ideas?

In past readings when clients have gotten the 6 of cups repeating, it suggests to me that this client is "living in the past", seeing the past as where all of their hopes and dreams are. When combined with the world I see that part of your life is completed, time to move on. I tell my clients to stop living their life looking through the rear view miror and start looking ahead towards a new future.

I could see that, but it is also when asking the cards why I should have hope or what this person thinks of me or what should I do. Seems weird that I am "living in the past" and the cards would tell me to keep doing it. Of course, they are the Halloween deck and have a side of mischievous to them.

When you keep asking the deck about a certain person over and over and over again, sometimes it starts talking to you by showing cards that have nothing to do with the actual question you asked... I'm not saying this is the case here, but it can happen. Happened to me when I obsessively asked about someone, at a certain point the cards seem to get a little frustrated and show you that through a card that screams IT'S OVER, STOP ASKING ABOUT IT ALREADY!!!

On the other hand, the 6 of Cups can stand for a soul mate connection, so... it could tell you to have trust in the connection you have, and still move on...

The Six of Cups has less to do with reconciliation (that is more the job of the Two of Cups and/or some other cards, IMO) than it has to do with memories, reminiscing, the innocence of youth, etc. So, that is why it may keep coming up for you--you are still reliving the good memories over and over in your mind and hoping for a reconciliation.

As for your ex's feelings about you or the relationship now, drawing the Ten then the Six of Cups would say to me that s/he knows the emotional relationship with you is over (Tens being endings and transitions to something new,) but that s/he still has some happy memories about the past with you. But I wouldn't read that pair as saying s/he will come back or that s/he has visions of reconciliation.

When you ask why you should bother believing s/he will be back, and you draw the Six of Cups/World--again, that World is saying the cycle is over, and you are simply trying to keep the memories alive because you don't want to believe there is no reconciliation on the horizon. To me, trumps are life-lesson/remedy card that point to energy you need to use or learn from. That suggests that you need to understand the energy of the World (end of cycle energy, similar to that of a Ten's energy) in order to move away from constantly drawing the reminiscing card of the Six of Cups. Once you do accept the World's energy, I believe you will stop pulling that Six.

What strikes me is that the cards you drew for your ex in the situation are both minors; whereas, the cards you drew for yourself included a trump (the similar card in each pair being the Six of Cups.) That would make me feel that this issue looms greater .in your mind than in his/hers because a trump (World) is a "larger" and more powerful energy than a pip (Ten of Cups.)
