The 7 of Cups

Key Concepts

- Imagination, fantasy and illusions 

Things are detached from reality, you are not seeing things objectively but via a subjective emotional view. You escape reality and enter a alternate world.

- Opportunities and choices

You are faced with many choices, paths to take, options and opportunities which you have difficulty deciding over.

- Wishful thinking 

You are not looking at the facts of the matter but rather wishing and hoping for the best.

 

Shadow aspect

Giving into your fantasy and living a lie. Illusions become delusions. Giving into temptations. Possible drug abuse as a means to escaping reality.

 

Messages of the 7 of Cups

Look at things realistically when deciding and making choices. Don’t let your imagination run wild with “what if”. Come down from the clouds and see things for what they really are.

Use your imagination and visions as a means to create what it is you desire.

Be careful of becoming lazy and indulging in pleasurable pastimes as that will hinder your development.
