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 need to live secretly.
• Intensely and passionately.

[From the Sepher Yetzirah and the Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom:]

In Kether is the Radix of a Golden Glory and thence is there a pure, primitive, and sparkling, gleaming golden yellow which is reflected into Tiphareth. This is the first reflected Triad complete. And the sphere of its operation is that of Shemesh, the Solar Light, and bestoweth Life, Light and Brilliancy in metallic matter, and it rideth the sphere of action and of the Sun. And YHVH
Eloah va-Daath is a God of Knowledge and Wisdom, ruling over the Light of the Universe; and its Archangel is Raphael, the Prince of Brightness, Beauty, and Life. And the Name of the Order of Angels is Melechim that is Kings or Angelic Kings, who are also called the Order of Virtues, Angels, and Rulers.

The Thoth Tarot- 6 of Cups is the Lord of Pleasure. Here the Sun is in Scorpio which means the Soul in Sexuality. The Angels of the Decan are Nelokhiel and Yeyayel.

The influence of the Solar Logos-Tiphareth-Beauty, in the Mental World known to Qabalist as Briah.

Tiphareth in Atziluth (Beauty in Pure Spirit) means Victory after effort, shown as the 6 of Wands. Therefore, we see the 6 of Cups as Tiphareth in the Watery World, (Mental World) as the beginnings of Pleasure.

Noted to be a sign of discrimination, magnetism and hidden qualities, Scorpio, in the 6 of Cups, is like activated Water by Solar influx. Here, Scorpio revels in the Sun, and is likened to a Fertile, warm, fruitful Sea--a Spa of Life generating qualities. This I know personally, being a Sun in Scorpio, and a Scorpio Natal, and having a Moon in Cancer, my inner self is a bright pleasure to my Watery World. Bacchus revels in my halls of heart and hearth as I live this card in a daily Glow of Bright Pleasure...thus I have no need to seek it-----I am it! And pleasure is a state of daily being me.

Of course, Scorpio may sting where the Will directs; However, when the Will resides in Beauty-Tiphareth- the Soul, Love is the Willful view of life and the scorpion's sting is reserved for those who would demean life with vial actions. So as the Sun activates the Forces of Scorpio, gain or pleasure commences. Implied, without assurance, is that pleasure and gain will build as shown by the partially filled cups that leave room for more experiences.

Pleasure, being the natural title of this card, is not that of the mundane pleasures of the pain fleeing populace, but of the highest sense as the "adorable fire"; implying well-being, harmony of natural forces without effort or strain but with ease and satisfaction Yet it does emphatically represent the fulfillment of Sexual Will, as shown by the ruling Sephiroth, Tiphareth, sign of Scorpio, Planet Sun, and element of Water. A communion of fertile forces, which makes all life possible. The person who experiences this card in sensual being, knows this as the sexual ecstasy of the Solar Logos that blazes as a Sun in the "Sexual Chakra" or Swadhisthana chakra...the orgasmic ecstasy that never stops as the perfect copulation of the Ida -Pingala forces. This is the state of the Highest of Sexual possibility, as in the union of Zeus Christos and the Mari, or of the Simon and the Helen, even of the Shakti and Shiva...where one knows God is Sex (Sex is 6 in Latin and sexen in Egyptian, denoting copulation). The perfect Pleasure of the synchronicity of communion, where the female and male blend as one Shining Star of Intelligent Vital Life Force. Interested students, should begin studying Tantric practices. In Western Qabalah, all practices that cause one "To know Thyself", are perfectly Qabalisitic.

When the 6 of Cups-Pleasure, is thrown during a reading:

• The querent is experiencing 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.
• They may be experiencing an orgasmic rush of feelings, a wave of ecstasy that even sad feelings being actively expressed, feel good in release. 
• The querent may also be experiencing sweet memories of the past, as past efforts bring present rewards.
• The querent's sexual sun is fully shining, producing a summer crop of pleasure throughout the body.

When ill defined:

• Emotional imprisonment as one is locked in childhood.
• Flight from reality.
