Well, the first thing you should notice in this quatrain of Tarot cards is that they begin and end with children. The first ‘children’ card means romantic, a gift (especially birthday or Valentine) and trust as well as an old house and home sweet home and one’s birthplace. And the last ‘children’ card also means fun, a vacation, and to leave a house. Then in the middle what both cards have in common is quickness. One of these means to return or go back to and ‘sudden,’ and the other means more and more or many times, as well as ‘messages’ or ‘talk,’ – any kind of communication, actually. Don’t tell me, with these illustrations and these meanings, you can’t come up with a plethora of other messages!
Meanings and Illustrations:
Six of Cups: Little boy gives little girl flowers, in front of an old fashioned home (which looks more like an apartment building to us), This painting is very nostalgic in tone, isn’t it? Meanings that grow out of this scene are: sweetheart, romance with an old flame, old love feelings, children, home, child/children, the good old days, the past, the sweet past, the girl he loves, in love, babies, sweethearts, romantic, give a gift, old house, house, kid, birthplace, happy scenes of childhood, old home, birthday, childhood, like a child, a nostalgic place, quaint place, and trust. This is a warm fuzzy card, the warmest fuzziest card in the deck. If you had to live a card, this might be the one if you are into cozy.
Knight of Swords: Here the dude is again, rushing there, rushing back and rushing, going at breakneck speed. His horse is movin’. He is returning, he is doing it again, he is striking, he is doing another, even regressing. You can look for this card to reflect any “re-” idea, as in rekindle here.
Eight of Wands: This is one of those cards that in Rider Waite shows up way more often than its random distribution would suggest. It shows limbs flying one after another quickly, and the illustration suggests lines, so it comes to mean any kind of message or communication. Phrases like ‘each and every’ or ‘time after time’ that suggest succession of events belong to the Eight of Wands Rider Waite Tarot card. It very often means quickly, talk, often, repeatedly – pretty simple. You get it. I will say no more.
Sun: Here this flexible card is more defined because two of its meanings – ‘child’ and ‘leave’ – are expressed by the preceding cards, and the first card echoes the ‘home’ theme of Sun. Phrases for it today include: a kid at heart, child, baby, kid, fun, lighthearted, having fun, gets out of the house for some fun, escape, vacation, freely, leaves home, leaving, leaving the house.
