Seven of Cups

illusions, temptation, confusion

Seven cups fill the card, so many that it's hard to focus on just one. In Spanish cartomancy this is the card of illusions, wishes and temptations. Lots of options, lots of daydreams and very little clarity about what to do. It also warns of deception, especially in love. When it comes up, it's time to separate what you want from what's actually within reach.

In love

Falling for someone who isn't what they seem, or being torn between several people. If you're single, look at what people do, not just at the sweet things they say.

Career and money

Too many plans at once, or an offer that sounds better than it is. Read the fine print before you spend any money or sign anything.

Health

Scattered and tired from trying to do everything at once. Watch out for excess and for miracle cures that promise too much.

Reversed

Your eyes open, you let go of a fantasy and you finally choose with your feet on the ground.

As a person

A charming dreamer who's a little unreliable, promising a lot and delivering little. It can also be someone tempting you with something that isn't good for you.

The Seven of Cups in a reading

In the past

You got carried away by a hope that didn't come true, or struggled to choose between several paths. That taught you to be wary of anything that shines too brightly.

In the present

Right now your head is full of options and wishes, and none of them is taking shape. Write down what you really want and cross off what's only fantasy.

In the future

Tempting offers may come your way, or someone who dazzles you. Before you jump in, make sure there's something real behind it. Whatever is worth it will still be there tomorrow.

As a yes or no answer

No

No, not for now. The Seven of Cups is about illusions and promises that shine brighter than they're worth. What you're asking about needs less dreaming and more reality to work out.
