Six of Cups, reversed

The Six of Cups shows forming new or reestablishing relationships, give and take, community, happiness, peace, stability, among other things.  However, in the reversed position, meanings of strained relationships, instability, sadness, selfishness come to mind.

We need to think about our relationships, where they are strained we need to try and work towards reconciliation - this could take time and today, even next week might not be the time to start.  However, if we have it in our hearts to make amends, the Universe will make a way.

Don't get me wrong, reconciliation doesn't always mean reunion and we continue on as if nothing has happened - it could mean just clearing the air in a civil manner, agreeing to disagree, apologize where apologies are due, and moving on.  This will help stabilize mental and spiritual imbalance so that new things, new relationships can come into your life.

Like the flowers in this Six of Cups, they started as a seed buried in the grown and with careful attention and love they flourish and become vibrant - so we to sometimes have to die  and separate ourselves for a time, be buried in order to rise and live another day.

Five of Cups, reversed

The Five of Cups in the reversed position would indicate that there is an ending of sorrow, loss, or negativity and more positive days are ahead.  While something negative may have happened in the past, that situation is not what defines you.

The bridge in the background of this card would indicate that there is more in life that needs to be explored - move forward, there are new experiences, fulfilling challenges and new relationships to be made, which is symbolized by the hills in the background.

Knight of Swords, reversed

The Knight of Swords shows an armored soldier with sword drawn and heading into a fight.  We can also see a strong headwind blowing him in his face, as seen by the swayed trees and fast moving clouds.  This is someone taking a challenge head on or who could be quick tempered and causing a raucous without having all of the facts.

In the reversed position, however, the opposite meaning would hold true - patience and levelheadedness should prevail.  Analyze all of the facts before rushing into judgement, there could be obvious details that might be missed by making a quick or rash judgement.  Take a few steps back or leave the situation for a moment or a day then come back and look at things from a refreshed prospective, you just might find that what was assumed may not be what is.
