Six of Cups Reversed Best Course: You may not be ready to forgive someone, even if they are pushing for it. You may even need to withdraw from an unsatisfying relationship for a time. See things as they are, not as how you wish them to be. Get practical. Stop daydreaming or living in the past. Be prepared for postponement. Don’t count on things happening exactly how you expect, when you expect them to. Something might be unfair, although it won’t be a major injustice but will certainly sting.
