Awhile back, I noticed that when I would do readings, the card on the bottom yielded important information, sometimes as much as the card on the top. This is yesterday's reading. The six of cups is a card of happiness and pleasure in its beginning (and can mean pleasure of the romantic sort, though not exclusively). Decks like the Rider-Waite often misattribute the meaning as nostalgia, when in fact, it's very much a card of immediacy. It's water at Tiphareth, a point of balance and beauty on the Tree of Life, and in this case, the happiness it indicates makes no promise of continuing.
Underneath it is the 9 of Swords. This is a card of mental anguish. Depression, agonizing, and sometimes even cruelty come with this card. I'd say that yesterday, the bottom card was more accurate than the one on top. It's anyone's guess whether that was because the 9 of Swords marred my ability to see the 6 of Cups manifesting in my life, or whether my intuition was blocked at the moment of drawing from the deck.
