What Six of Cups means as how someone sees you

It helps to remember what this card is not. Six of Cups is not a verdict about worth; it is a description of feeling in motion. The open hand of feeling — held lightly, that theme informs without imprisoning. The cards describe weather; you still choose the clothing.
