This month, the Six of Cups highlights an increased level of harmony and cooperation in relationships, giving and receiving, without expectation. Love presents neither conditions nor agendas in any form. Love satisfies itself. A healthy balance between give and take creates harmony on all levels of existence.
Pilz says: “A sense for the beautiful and pleasant, being in tune with the purpose of life and concern for the well-being of his fellow man are all characteristics of the Six of Cups.”
A deep affinity with all living things brings about a harmonious and loving relationship with others.
The human is unique in its capacity of love partnerships beyond any other living thing on planet. On the level of partnerships, we can experience a constant renewal of love relationships expressed in deep compassion.
This is a card that invites us to remember our past, our childhood and all of the memories connected with our fun, free and innocent inner-child experiences. It is about play, and spontaneous and creative moments.
Right now these shifting energies we are all traversing are offering us glimpses into alternate timeline experiences, sometimes from our past and other times our future or even simultaneous ones. This can be very emotionally confusing to anyone not aware of this phenomenon not to mention how this can alter our physical bodies as well. We can find ourselves feeling out of sorts, not “right” or “off”. When we traverse these energetic highways of time/space, we can often find ourselves manifesting actual encounters with humans from our past. Reasons for this may include things like unfinished business, a lesson not yet learned or simply to reboot a feeling that is long lost within our personal matrix.
When we find that someone from our childhood that was a love interest, a sweetheart, a soulmate, a deep friend, we can reignite that feel center that housed the purest vibration of first love, or first lust, or first trust. Adult relationships rarely hold onto and recreate that initial pure frequency and, overtime, our connections become dulled, ignored or manipulated so that we no longer can feel that memory.
If you are lucky enough to come across that person, that memory, that knowing, it can feel really good to sit with it. Reignite what that pure love truly feels like within the meat-and-bone body. Re-activate it and re-embrace the memory of the past fully because as we move through adulthood, we can lose those connections to wonder and awe.
Typically children see the world as a magical place where hearts are open to the myriad of joy filled pleasures available to them. That’s what this card is about—embracing that we have those memories within us, as stored information and experiences, as vibration, as frequencies of true connection to not only humans but to all living things on planet and beyond.
Doing this type of work can assist us to open up to the multiple timelines and find connections to limitless energies that then offer us a knowing of oneness which in turn heals that separation wound and programming of abandonment.
This is creative work, and this card invites us to access our ability for artistic expression. If creativity has been developed enough, then daily activities become a creative act. Through the power of renewal and inward transformation, practical routines can become an expression of joy. And god knows we all could use a lot more of that each day!

Traditional Rider deck description: A young boy leans down and passes a cup filled with flowers to a younger girl. The girl looks up to the boy with love and respect as he offers the flowers to her. Love, harmony and co-operation – all key elements shine through this gentle act. The young children also represent childhood memories. In the background, an older man walks away in the distance, as if to say you no longer need to worry about adult issues; just enjoy the moment of being young, innocent and free again. The children also appear to be standing in the courtyard of a large home, symbolizing comfort, safety and security. In the foreground stand four more cups filled with flowers, and a fifth cup sits on a pedestal behind the boy.
The Six of Cups is a card that takes us back to the happy memories from our past, whether as a child, teenager or young adult. We may simply be revisiting memories in our mind, or in body. With the current changes in our timeline structures, many are finding themselves reconnecting with childhood friends, lovers, sweethearts or buddies. These connections can bring a sense of joy, happiness and soul connection. This messages invites us to in touch with our inner child and experience the fun, freedom and innocence that comes with being a young child again.
Reversed card meaning: When the reversed Six of Cups appears it is reflective of clinging to the past and losing touch with the present wishing for ‘how things used to be’. See the Six of Cups as an opportunity to make peace with the past in order to focus on the now.
Meat Memo…Tips for Each Plane
Physical Plane Tips (how to work with your body):
Key understanding: Inner Balance
The key phrase I chose for the Physical Plane are Inner Balance. When our physical body is not in harmony and holding inner balance we feel it in our meat and bones. We feel it in our brains. We feel “off, or stuck, or not right”. These are indicators that we are not aligned, not balanced within. It is out red flag to re-ground our physical selves. To get inner-balanced from the inside outward, by use of our connection to Mother Earth and all Her natural helpers.
Emotional Plane Tips (how to work with your emotions):
Key understanding: Innocent Longing
The key phrase I chose for the Emotional Plane is Innocent Longing. When I sat with these words for the Emotional Plane I could really sense the innocence of a child’s wanting, yearning, longing for so many things including….growing up. And yet when we re grown, we do not necessarily do this same sense of innocent longing. We may still long, or yearn but emotionally it now comes from programming of have to, should, etc. So I think this is a really good Keyword phrase to ponder. What did I year or long for when done in childhood innocence and does this still hold emotion for me now?
Mental Plane Tips (how to work with your mind):
Key Understanding: Aesthetic
The key phrase I chose for the Mental Plane is Aesthetic. Aesthetics, or esthetics, is a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of beauty and taste, as well as the philosophy of art. It examines aesthetic values, often expressed through judgments of taste. These judgments, boundaries, opinions, etc. are all held within our Mental Plane of reality, and can be oftentimes ego-based I would assume just like the unbalanced solar plexus.
Spiritual Plane Tips (how to work with spirit):
Key Understanding: Deep Soul Experience
The key phrase I chose for the Spiritual Plane are Deep Soul Experience. Because the entire Spiritual Plane is all about the connection to higher source energy—this pick seemed a no-brainer. The more we align to our Higher Selves, our guides and our benevolent helpers, the more we deepen our Soul Experience here on planet while residing in this meat and bone experience of a human vehicle. That’s what being human is all about!
Cool Tool – The 41 Best Romantic Movies of All Time
From the old classics to the new classics, here’s a century of the greatest on-screen chemistry.
Best Romantic Movies of All Time
I took this directly off the Esquire Entertainment site and thought it might make for a fun and different Cool Tool because the Six of Cups has many traditional meanings, including desire, pleasure, being in love, romantic atmosphere and more that are sure to show up in a movie somehow! Plus, we are moving into cold and snowy weather soon, nothing is better than a good romantic movie along with a good glass of wine (or tea!) snuggled next to a roaring fire. Maybe you will remember an old favorite on this list or possibly find a new one. ENJOY!
Esquire says: As the saying goes: One person’s crush is another person’s cringe. No matter how hard we try as a society, humanity has always failed to reach a consensus on the rules of romance. Though many of us might agree that there should be some serious dos and don’ts to PDA on a crowded subway, overall it’s for the best that we leave love unbridled. Luckily for us, the romantic film genre has followed suit. From comedy to drama, classic to quirky, and sappy to cynical, there’s plenty of fish in the sea to find your romantic movie soulmate. If you’re on the market, these iconic titles (along with a few new wild cards) will turn you into a Casanova in no time. Here are some of the most romantic movies ever made.
