Where are you right now?

Help numbers depend on the country you're in, not on the site's language. We never ask for access to your location.

What you can do right now

  • If anything nearby could be used to hurt yourself, put it out of reach or ask someone to stay with you.
  • Message someone you trust: “I’m having a hard time. Can you be with me?”
  • You don't have to solve everything now. Getting through the next few minutes is enough.

Talk to a person

If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or of not wanting to live, call a support line. They will listen without judgment. You can also call when things simply feel too heavy.

Choose your country above to see its support lines. Lines in many countries are also listed in the Find A Helpline directory.

Minor Arcana · Cups

Six of Cups

In an old courtyard one child hands a smaller one a cup of white flowers: memory, and simple kindness.

By Tarot tradition: a mirror, not a verdict

The card Six of Cups: a drawing from the 1909 deck in a velvet frame
The 1909 deck after drawings by Pamela Colman Smith (public domain).

Image and meaning

In a stone courtyard, an older child in a red hood bends down to hand a smaller one a cup filled with white flowers. Five more cups of flowers stand nearby. The card can mirror warmth drawn from earlier times: a place, a person, a way of playing that once felt good. If such memories are scarce for you, kindness given freely now, with nothing expected back, can be just as warming.

The suit of Cups: feelings and bonds.

Light and shadow

Support. Comfort from what was good, and the ease of giving without keeping score.

Worth noticing. Doubting that simple kindness counts, whether it comes from others or from you.

A gentle step

Do one kind thing today, for someone else or for yourself, without expecting anything in return.

Gently. Memories are not warm for everyone; if looking back hurts, you can set the past aside and keep the kindness part.

Across areas of life

Relationships
Tenderness, play and small gestures that ask for nothing in return.
Work
Returning to something you once loved doing, or helping someone newer find their feet.
Resources
Old friends, familiar places and comforting routines that steady you.
About you
Kindness toward your younger self, whatever that child went through.

Questions for yourself

Which memory, place or person still brings you a little warmth?

Who could you do something kind for today, just because?
