Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tarot lately, trying to really get it, you know? Not just the fluffy, feel-good stuff, but the nitty-gritty symbolism. And the 6 of Cups? Man, that card kept popping up, so I figured it was time to figure out its zodiac sign connection.
I started by pulling out my trusty deck. I always do a little cleansing ritual first – gotta clear out any lingering vibes. I just run the deck through some incense smoke, focusing on my intention to get a clear, honest reading. Super simple, nothing fancy.
My Research Process
Then came the digging. First, I hit up my favorite tarot books. No, seriously, I love reading. You get so many different perspectives that way. Most of them hinted at a water sign connection for the 6 of Cups, because, duh, it’s all about emotions, nostalgia, and childhood stuff.
- So the element is easy, find Water.
- Then, find the card that matched.
- Finally, 6 of Cups.
I looked for cards that show kids playing, flowers, all that good, sweet imagery. It felt very… Cancer-y. You know, that homey, nurturing, remembering-the-good-old-days vibe. So that was my first thought: Cancer.
But I wasn’t 100% sold. I needed more. So, I went online. I browsed through a bunch of tarot forums and blogs. It’s always interesting to see what other people are picking up on, it’s very helpful. There was a lot of talk about Cancer, but Scorpio kept popping up too. That made sense – Scorpio’s got that deep, intense emotional side, and the 6 of Cups can sometimes represent revisiting the past, even the darker parts.
Putting it All Together
Honestly, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it’s not so cut-and-dried. Some people even mentioned Pisces, because of the dreamy, imaginative quality of the card.
I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down keywords for each sign:
- Cancer: Home, family, nostalgia, nurturing, childhood.
- Scorpio: Intensity, secrets, the past, transformation, hidden emotions.
- Pisces: Dreams, fantasy, innocence, idealism, lost loves.
And then I compared those to the imagery and meanings I’d learned about the 6 of Cups. It did lean a little bit to Cancer.
So, what’s my final verdict? I’m going with Cancer as the primary zodiac sign associated with the 6 of Cups. But! I’m keeping an open mind to Scorpio and Pisces influences, depending on the specific reading and the surrounding cards. It’s all about context, right?
This whole process taught me that tarot isn’t about finding the one right answer. It’s about exploring the connections, the nuances, the possibilities. And honestly, that’s what makes it so much fun!
