Seven of Cups

​

  

  

The Seven of Cups represents choices and decisions to be made. Often it denotes too many options, making it difficult to come to a decision. Nothing is clear when this card shows up, and the way forward is unknown.

 

There is also a sense of fear and anxiety with the energy of this card. You may be feeling agitated and confused with these choices as there may be a lot riding on your decision.

 

The number seven is spiritual and calls for us to make a decision that will lead to personal growth. It augers contemplation, caution, and foresight before proceeding. There is usually a lesson to learn with the sevens, one that will lead to wisdom and enlightenment. It is a number that represents inner journeys and maturation of the soul.  

 

This card's energy is mysterious and illusory, so you could be using your imagination to drift off into fantasy worlds where all your hopes and dreams come true. However, make sure you are realistic with your thoughts as a wrong decision could cost you later.

 

When the Seven of Cups appears, it indicates success and abundance, with an opportunity is available, but you must use your guidance and intuition wisely for it to manifest. Success may not come to you as easily as you hoped or in the way you thought it would. If it is meant to be, it will happen eventually.

 

You may have to learn a few lessons along the way beforehand. You may even have to make changes to your current path, which requires a change in direction. Look at your options carefully, then re-assess and organise your priorities.

Reversed

​

​

This card often relates to an emotional choice, where matters of the heart are involved. Do not rush into anything and allow your mind to clear before committing to a decision. Wait for the confusion to pass and see where you are strongly drawn to and why? When reversed, this card can indicate wishful thinking and delusions that may lead you away from your true path. Take some time out to gain clarity before making a decision that could impact your life heavily.
