Seven of Cups

The "Sevens" in the Tarot Deck are associated with experimentation, courage, and risks. The nature of the risk may vary and can be positive or negative.

In the case of the Seven of Cups many Tarot Decks depict the theme of imagination, and the notion that one's hopes may remain only daydreams without the specific actions necessary in order to manifest them.

This card invites the sitter to consider where heshe is putting is/her efforts and commitment. It is possible to have many dreams and aspirations, but is also necessary to prioritise in order to manifest them.
Note: There is an excellent subliminal mind-training CD available to help with "Manifesting Your Vision".

 

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

  • Choices
  • Dreams (dreaming instead of acting)
  • Illusion
  • Imagination
  • Mystical tendencies
  • Uncertainty of direction and goals
  • Visualisation.

Remember that all of the Cups cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Cups with emotional feelings. For further information, also read about the Suit of Cups in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
