Seven of Cups - Upright

Minor Arcana
This represents the choices that need to be made. You may be faced with a lot of opportunities; you need to choose the right one.  You may not be focused in life. Your imagination may be highly active and conflict with reality.



Let's hear your interpretation of the card...

I can relate to this card, always with my head in the clouds fantasying  about how I wish I had a better life. Always thinking about what I can do to improve my circumstances.

There are so many things I want to do in my life and not knowing which one to chose first. Well it’s no good just thinking about it, you have to make your dreams a reality. You need to focus on what you want.

Perfect example, while learning this tarot course there are so many different meanings to the cards, so many choices of books on the subject. Focus on one thing. My focus will be to learn the cards through my intuition.

If anyone is interested, this is what possibilities each individual Cup

represents.  The face represents our desire to connect with another

person and to have someone to share our life.  The serpent stands for our

quest for knowledge and our need for answers.  The jewels our desire for

wealth and the victory wreath for our desire for success.  The castle and

the dragon are also a part of our quest.  At some point, we get the

courage to leave the safety of our fortress (our home) and our comfort

zone and go out into the world as knights of old and slay dragons which

represent our fears or personal demons.  The 7th Cup or the Cup of the

Unknown is to serve as a reminder to us not to get so bogged down with

the material world that we neglect the more satisfying mysteries of our

spiritual selves.  I think this is what happened to Britney Spears.  It's like

she just literally lost her self.  As Dumbledore (forgive my spelling) said to

Harry about the magic mirror.  "It does not do to dwell so much on

dreams that we forget to live."    

Seven of Cups...

Imagination, fantasy.. letting your imagination get the best of you.

I read it as the possibilities of what is open to you.

All of these things are valid options of future endeavours, however doing something for the glory alone will prove disastrous. That death's head on the cup with the wreath has always bothered me.
