Seven of Cups

Seven of Cups Tarot Card Meanings

The Seven of Cups shows a float of seven cups with various things inside them, before a man, who is expected to make a choice of one of the cups (and its contents). The man may not be able to make a choice as there are too many for him to decide and he is lost in his own thoughts and dreams to be in the here and now.

This card represents a time of daydreaming and fantasy, not accepting reality. This card warns against not being realistic as foolish and unwise.

General Meaning

This card suggests you may need to introduce more balance into your life. Keep each area - work, relationships, family commitments etc - in perspective, not allowing for wild swings in any particular direction. You are in danger of losing a sense of what is and isn't important in your life if you indulge every feeling you have, so be careful not to always believe what your feelings appear to be telling you.
