✦ Upright Meaning

Children exchange cups filled with flowers in a peaceful courtyard. This card brings nostalgia, childhood memory, or the return of someone or something from your past — sweet, and often healing.

✦ Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean being stuck in the past, idealizing memories, or an old connection returning in a way that isn't actually healthy.
