Seven of Cups Tarot Card Description
The suite of Cups represents our emotions, but it also refers to ‘gut feelings,’ instinct and at its most extreme, psychic abilities. Twin this with the mystical number seven, and you can be sure your subconscious is craving your attention.
Upright Meaning
The Seven of Cups has a number of possible meanings. The first is that you have so many options that you are spoilt for choice. This plethora of possibilities has led to you becoming bogged down in a quagmire, unable to decide which path to pursue. You really need to make up your mind if you are to make any progress. On the plus side, once you have committed yourself to a decision, the results can be very pleasing. The second meaning asks you to consider if you are living in cloud cuckoo land. Are your expectations and plans so ambitious that they verge on being ridiculous, or are you just over confident about your abilities? It’s good to set high goals, but you need to learn to walk before you decide to challenge Usain Bolt to a race. Yet another possibility is that you are having a wonderful time, but that this has gone too far. When you should be putting your head down and doing some work, you are more likely to be enjoying some hedonistic hell raising. Even if you have managed to avoid partying to the wee small hours, it could well be that you have become a bit of a ‘duvet day’ dude, who spends more time dozing than ‘doing’. If there is any truth in the notion of ‘beauty sleep,’ you should be getting a call from Vogue soon! If not, you’ll almost certainly get one from your boss wondering where you are. Now, it’s just possible you might be gulping your power breakfast and wondering what on earth I am on about, because you haven’t left your desk since last month when you stopped to grab a sandwich. In which case, The Seven of Cups actually wants you to make time to daydream and enjoy yourself. Which of the above is true for you? Well, only you can say, but to move forward you must be frank with yourself.
Reversed Meaning
You may have to face some difficult questions and you need to consider if you have been deluding yourself in regard to your own talents. Perhaps you aren’t quite ready to take on the world just yet. Equally, it could be that you have totally misread the situation and things are not at all as they seem. Before you make a serious mistake, you may need to reassess your situation. Either way, you need to get back in touch with reality – sharpish!
Past
Have you been over ambitious? It was great to set a high goal, but you have been patient for too long, try another tack. Or were you so bombarded by options that you could not see the wood for the trees?
Present
Are you overwhelmed by options, wasting your time with wishful thinking, or setting illusionary and unrealistic goals? Whichever, address the issue. If you’re in a romantic relationship be careful not to develop unrealistic hopes and dreams.
Future
Make sure you avoid being overwhelmed by options, wishful thinking or setting impossible goals. If you do, you’ll get the chance to participate in thrilling plans. In love, you may need or want more than your partner can give.

Seven of Cups Love Tarot Card Description
Upright Meaning
Are you so busy day-dreaming about your sweetheart that you are failing to live in the present? Stop worrying about the future and attend to the here and now.
Tossing a coin is perhaps one way to choose between two potential partners, but it probably leaves room for improvement. You might do better to think things through properly; don’t be afraid to let your intuition guide you in matters of the heart. The important thing here is to avoid rushing into action before considering all the options.
Reversed Meaning
Don’t hang back, get out into the world. Yes it can be intimidating to initiate conversations with a cutey who takes your eye, but you can do it. Still, we need to keep things real, consider what it is you want from a partner and you are likely to avoid wasted time and disappointment. It’s hard to keep a clear head when you are in love but it is vital to be realistic and focused. Is your partner trying to reach an agreeable compromise or do they want everything their way?
Yes, they are lovely, yes they have the most amazing eyes and yes their breath is like roses, now can you please, please, please change the record? You may be bewitched by your beloved but this is in danger of turning into an obsession. Are you being totally realistic about the object of your adulation or are you living in cloud cuckoo land? Get to know them properly before you give your heart away.
