The Rider-Waite-Smith-Six of Cups Tarot Card is staying with a more mundane meaning than say the more metaphysical Thoth Tarot as it, shows the beginning of pleasure as an image of flowers emerging from the cups. The card is yellow and bright acknowledging the Sun's influence on this card. The scene of the Children in a garden, suggests a card of pleasurable memories. Hence, this is a card reflecting on past childhood memories of happiness, enjoyment, which come from the past things that have vanished. Waite, keeping to his lodge oath, truly shows little of the Arcane in his cards, be they major or minor arcana. Therefore, Pamela Coleman Smith, the artist, was left with mundane pictures that didn't truly convey the deeper arcane meanings. That is the reason Alister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris collaborated to artfully place all that could be pictured into occult or arcane meaning available in the Thoth Cards---my favorite Tarot Cards. Crowley never liked lodges and believed that this "arcane knowledge" of self should be available to all who dared to seek out their True Self and leave the common controlled paths of the indoctrinated and dogmatized mundane masses.

The Erotic Tarot- 6 of Water is unique in the understanding of this tarot card. Here, a young woman, has removed her lower garments to wade into the water, the element of this card. She is offering greeting to a young moose. Moose are great deer, and as the largest of that family, represent Great Fertility. The Sign of Scorpio, in the Sun, is exalted fertility. Milo Manara is showing the veracity of artistic license in the rendering of this card. He has assigned the meanings of:

• Simplicity.
• Intelligence.
• Serenity. 

The Astrological meaning of the Sun in Scorpio:

• The need to live secretly.
• Intensely and passionately.

This card also represents nostalgia over the past. There may be reminiscence over past pleasures, or a childhood hurt. In any case be kind to your past self and forgive mistakes, for mistakes are 50% of Wisdom. Correction turns "mistakes" into wisdom.

The placement of the Sun in the House of Scorpio in an astrological chart can have a significant impact on a person's personality and life. Since you have an interest in metaphysics and astrology, I'll provide some insights into this particular aspect of astrology.

1. Intense and Passionate: Scorpio is known for its intensity, and when the Sun is in this sign, individuals tend to be passionate about their goals and pursuits. They have a deep well of energy and determination.

2. Emotional Depth: Scorpio is a water sign, and when the Sun is in Scorpio's house, it enhances emotional depth. These individuals are often in touch with their emotions on a profound level, and they may be drawn to exploring the mysteries of the human psyche.

3. Determination: Scorpio is a fixed sign, which means that those with the Sun in Scorpio's house are known for their unwavering determination. Once they set their sights on a goal, they are likely to pursue it with incredible persistence.

4. Magnetic and Mysterious: Scorpio is associated with mystery and secrecy. People with the Sun in Scorpio's house often have a magnetic and enigmatic quality that draws others to them. They may have a natural talent for uncovering hidden truths.

5. Transformation: Scorpio is also associated with transformation and rebirth. Individuals with this placement may go through significant life changes and experiences that lead to personal growth and transformation.

6. Desire for Depth: Those with the Sun in Scorpio's house are typically not satisfied with surface-level interactions. They crave depth and authenticity in their relationships and may be drawn to exploring esoteric or occult subjects.

7. Challenges: On the challenging side, Scorpio energy can be associated with jealousy, possessiveness, and a tendency to hold grudges. It's important for individuals with this placement to be mindful of these potential pitfalls.

It's important to remember that the interpretation of an astrological chart is highly individualized and depends on the entire birth chart, including the positions of other planets and aspects between them. Consulting with a professional astrologer can provide you with a more detailed and personalized analysis of your Sun in Scorpio's house placement.

However, this card also implies the group is much more important than the individual who perceives purpose only in terms of that group. This may be an important phase, as in the case of teenagers who seek out peer support or it may be a problem. Besides a severe attachment to external things, to people and to possessions, is extraordinarily strong and relationships are deeply felt. Hence, there is a strong attachment to material objects which may bring a sense of "'roots" and security.

When the 6 of Cups or 6 of Water is thrown in a divination, it implies:

• Emotional pleasure, in a period of 6 weeks or 6 months of giving to and receiving pleasure from others.
• A period of innocence and taking immense pleasure in one's childlike qualities.
• An orgasmic rush of feelings, a wave of ecstasy that even when sad feelings are being actively expressed, the release feels pleasurable.
• Sweet memories of the past, as past efforts bring present rewards.
• Wellbeing, harmony of natural forces without effort or strain.
• The "adorable Fire", a flowing of deep spiritual warmth in a relationship.
• Ease and satisfaction on a deep inner spiritual plane of pleasure.
• Note: Foreign to the Western Hermetic Qabalistic idea of this card, is the gratification of artificial or natural desires, as it is pleasure understood in the highest inner sense.

If Reversed:

• The future.
• Renewal.
• That which will happen presently.
• Moodiness, withdrawal from friends.
• Masochistic behavior.
