This morning I asked the cards, “What will today be like?” I drew the Six of Cups. I’m not kidding. Today I’m getting together with my father, who I haven’t seen since I was 13. (Just over 20 years ago). We hadn’t had any contact all this time. A couple of years ago, he got in touch with me out of the blue. We have corresponded via email since, but only sporadically.He happens to live not too far from where we have recently moved, so when the kitten incident happened last week, I emailed him asking if he knew of anyone who could help. He said he knew of a shelter near him, and he could come pick them up on his day off. That would be today.
Obviously, the Six of Cups speaks of nostalgia, and more appropriately in this case, someone from your past coming back into your life. The cards couldn’t have nailed it on the head any better than this.
What strikes me also is the story behind the card in this deck, “In Ector’s Keeping”, as it speaks particularly about a parental separation. Arthur was taken from his parents by Merlin and given to Sir Ector to raise. This was done to protect him from those who would wish to harm Uther’s heir. So Arthur grew up spending a great many years separated from his father, a particular distance with which I am familiar. I’m pretty wowed at drawing this card today...the tarot never ceases to amaze me!

Hello Tarot Dame,
I love your write up on the 6 of cups. You have brought up an excellent point in reference to this card and by revealing aspects of your personal life in connection to this card, ie. - your father.
I remember seeing the 6 of cups a few months ago in several personal layouts I did for myself. In hindsight now I know it was Joe (someone from my past) returning in some capacity. It was so very true, in fact not only Joe but my X brother-in-law whom I met for the very first time (he lives in Australia and flew in shortly after Joe had the stroke).
My experience with the 6 of cups brought back to me all the memories of my marital relationship with Joe and part of my teenager years too. I was a teenage bride.
I enjoy reading your blog and think that you have a great gift. Thank you for sharing.
Seasons greetings.
Madame Seaqueen.
Thanks so much, Seaqueen. I'm not surprised that the 6 of Cups came up for you in your readings about Joe. To me, the card also sometimes indicates the children in your life, and obviously your children were affected by the situation.
