The 6 of Cups is a Scorpio card; it is the decan from November 3rd to November 12th. The Tarot card during these 10 days is potent.

It is the gift we give each other: generational love, memory, or nostalgia.

In T. Susie Chang’s book, 36 Secrets, she states, “ All sixes hold the best their suit has to offer. It’s here where the suit finds its purpose; its meaning in life.”

But what is the archetype of the 6 of Cups?

It is the deep emotional resonance and transformative power of memory that the card holds. Where the past and present meet. It is where healing and transformation of old patterns are possible.

This poem is about the bittersweet feeling of looking back on the innocence, joy, and youth.

Youth
by Lee Sang

Youth is
something whose color and fragrance
are known only after it has left,
something you realize
will never return
only after it has passed.
