6 of Emotion: Six of Cups

Deal with past and personal issues.

The Business Tarot deck

Traditional Rider-Waite

The Six of Cups is the past knocking on your office door. Old memories, old patterns, and old hurts have a way of showing up in your business, in your prices, your confidence, and the clients you attract. In business tarot, the Six of Cups, card 6 of Emotion, is the card of the past and healing old patterns, and it shows up when something old is ready to be healed so your work can flow.

Business Tarot Meaning

Deal with past and personal issues. They are affecting your work life, whether you want to admit it or not. The past does not stay in the past when it comes to business. It sits in on your sales calls and whispers over your pricing.

As you heal your heart and build up your emotions to joy, everything will flow better. You are ready to forgive, apologize, reach out to someone that you haven’t spoken to, or release guilt over whatever happened. Not for them. For you, and for your business.

This includes working on self esteem, self confidence and self love. Healing past and present issues within relationships is not separate from your business growth. It is business growth, from the inside out.

Emotion Action Steps

• Name one past or personal issue that is affecting your work life.
• Choose your healing step: forgive, apologize, reach out, or release the guilt.
• Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to, if your heart says it is time.
• Do one thing this week for your self esteem, self confidence, or self love.
• Notice where an old pattern shows up in your prices or your confidence, and question it.

Journaling Questions

• What old pattern keeps showing up in my business?
• Who do I need to forgive, apologize to, or release, so I can move lighter?
• What would my business feel like with my heart healed and my emotions built up to joy?
