The Six of Cups is the only card in the tarot deck that deals only with the past. Specifically, memories and good events in the past are represented here. It is a positive card backed by happy remembrances. The look back isn't to seek out what was done wrong but what was done right. Happy memories can inspire a confidence that can carry you forward. You have accomplished many things already and they stand as testament to your abilities. Pleasure, sexual and otherwise, is tied to this card as is fertility. Take on the open hearted approach of children when this card is around and you will see the path ahead clear of debris.

The Seven of Cups are all about making the right choices and how difficult it can be to do that. The basket may look like it is filled with roses ripe for the grabbing but remember that roses have thorns. You may place so many choices in front of yourself it is nearly impossible to chose one. Or you make up choices that don't actually exist in the real world. Defeat is likely with this card since your plans are not made with a solid backing. Temptation of the flesh and mind reside in this card and can easily steer you in the wrong direction. Realism and guarding against temptation are vital lessons learned in this card. If it comes down to the deadline and you really can't make a decision, remember that not choosing is a choice of its own.

The Eight of Cups is about stagnation. Whatever energies or emotions have pushed you to where you are having stopped flowing. Waiting for them to return isn't the most effective method of continuing your life. This is a time to move forward, past difficulties in relationships where you are the giver and not a receiver. It is time to shake off whatever lethargy is holding you in stasis and make a move of some kind. The past is over, the present brief and the future ahead to be had. It is time for growth, even if that comes at the price of sacrificing something that you currently hold dear.

The Nine of Cups is filled with positive energy and satisfaction of the heart, mind and body. Whatever you are wanting the most will be coming to you in some shape or form. This card is especially handy at making relationships (romantic, sexual or friendship) stronger and more fulfilling. Happiness and abundance are within your reach. Take time to bask in all of this joy and pleasure.

The Ten of Cups contain love in its most ideal form. It is a simplistic, pure love of the sort that is told of in stories and poems. It is a bright, lasting and harmonious happiness. There are no regrets or fears. But it is important not to take it all for granted because it can slip past you or stagnate. Enjoy what you have and nurture it without pushing for change.
