Six of Wands and Six of Cups

Public recognition and something from the past returning. The Six of Wands is the rider being cheered; the Six of Cups is a gift handed over in a remembered place. The tradition reads the pair as success that has old roots, and as being seen by people who knew you before.

Associated with reconnection, and with somebody from earlier showing up at a good moment. The pair is warm about this and does not promise it is more than warmth.

Recognition among people you have history with. Read for reputations that were built slowly rather than won suddenly.

The Six of Cups is nostalgia and the tradition is careful with it. The recognition in the Six of Wands is happening now, and it is the card doing the work.
