The Seven of Cups Tarot Card Description
This card is for the dreamers (and I count myself among them). If you have always had a vivid imagination and love getting lost in your own beautiful inner world, the Seven of Cups will resonate with you. While dreaming big is a positive and endearing quality, this card also reminds you that bringing those dreams into reality and working toward tangible goals is equally important.

The Seven of Cups Upright
The Seven of Cups represents choices, decisions, and opportunities. It suggests different ways to pursue a goal and invites you to explore your options. However, it also encourages you to focus and make a clear decision to turn your dreams into reality.
The Seven of Cups Reversed
When reversed, the Seven of Cups can indicate feeling overwhelmed by too many options and a tendency toward daydreaming or escapism (sue me!). It may suggest that you've created too many scenarios for yourself, not all of which serve you.
The Six of Cups encourages you to weigh all the possibilities and focus on what truly matters to you, which will help you make positive choices based on your needs.
Mantra: Daydreams guide my purpose.
