Hello and

welcome to Tarobites. I'm Teresa Reed the Tarol Lady.

I'm the author of the Tarot Coloring Book

and I'm also your host for this podcast series. This is episode 39 of

tarot bites. The podcast where I dish out short entertaining bite-sized

lessons on how to read tarot. For today's episode our topic

is the six of cups. So let's go ahead grab your tarot decks and let's begin.

So I have to say that this card gives me a warm fuzzy

every time it shows up in a tarot reading.

You know, I like to call it my Wizard of Oz card because the sentiment is that there's no place like home.

It's sweet, it's gentle, and it's a reminder to stop and smell the roses. Now before I get into more of the

interpretation aspect of this card let's go ahead and dive into some of those

symbols. So I mentioned no place like home, right? Well, if you look at the

card, you might see that there are some prominent houses in the background of the card. Houses represent security. After all, our homes are often

where we feel the most same, right? Now you'll also notice that the cups in this card have a bunch of flowers blooming out of them.

Those flowers in the cups can symbolize the blossom of youth or something that is growing from seeds that are planted in the past.

And by the way this card is often connected to the past.

Now I've seen the figures in the cards sometimes refer to as children. So if you consider children to be a symbol, they can indicate innocence or youth. Now if you look closely you're also going to see

that there is a watchman patrolling the scene. The watchman is a symbol of Protection.

And of course I always like to ask myself when I see this card,

what is he keeping in or out?

Anyhow, those are the few of the main symbols here.
