Its greatest strength lies in its ability to bring forth nostalgia and the sweetness of past joys. The Six of Cups embodies the power to help you draw wisdom from past experiences, infusing your present and future with joyous insights. It acts as a bridge to the innocence and happiness of simpler times, offering comfort in the light of memory and encouraging a joyful and grateful outlook.

Position 3: What is your greatest weakness? - Queen of Swords
However, it acknowledges a potential pitfall in the realm of emotional detachment, as illustrated by the Queen of Swords.

Position 6: What do you expect from me? - The Hermit
The deck expects you to approach this path with introspection and contemplative wisdom, as suggested by The Hermit. Seek deeper truths within yourself, detach from external distractions and embrace moments of solitude for self-discovery and growth. Engage with the deck as you would a quest for enlightenment, allowing its insights to guide you to internal and external understanding.

Together, the learning lies in overcoming perceived limitations, as the Eight of Swords teaches us.
