7 of Cups

The Seven of Cups increases the number of possibilities in the emotional field. It invites you to tell apart desire, imagination and real choice.

What the card shows

Seven cups are set out in a symmetrical arrangement, and the seventh stands apart from the rest, left a little to one side. Flowers and foliage fill the free spaces between the upright chalices.

Its light

Setting clear criteria cuts the confusion without closing off the range of options: you keep several tracks, and you find a real capacity to decide again.

Its shadow

You keep every track open and your attention scatters: nothing you begin really comes through, and none of it takes root.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. Odd and prime, the seven keeps a threshold value: the old treatises read in it the end of a cycle, just before the count starts again.

What this card invites you to do

Write the list of your tracks, then cross out what matches no action possible within three months, and keep what remains in front of you.

A card does not decide for you.
It shows you where to look.
