Seven Of Cups

The Deviant Moon Tarot is a wonderful deck to work with, I love the rich colors and unique characters on these cards and today's card happens to be one of my favorites. The Seven of Cups is all about imagination, daydreams and flights of fantasy and Patrick Valenza has created a deck that can truly bring your imagination to life


On the Seven of Cups, we see an artist busily drawing on his canvas with his pencil, trying to capture his vision of the cups that are stacked on the table in the foreground. Looking at his progress, it immediately becomes clear that the artists' concept varies greatly from what we can see before him.


The Seven of cups is a card choices or options and some people may consider this card a good omen but there is also a reminder to us as well, daydreaming and wishful thinking can mislead us if we focus on our desires and not base our choices in reality and on well grounded thinking.


Keep in mind that sevens always indicate some sort of change and cups symbolize the emotions.. .so look for a possible change that involves ones emotions.

Tarot Tuesday

The Seven of Cups is all about choices, opportunities and dreams, some are rather fanciful and others are more realistic and grounded. In the Seven of Cups, we see that each cup contains something different....Rainbow = hope; Dove = love; Vine = plenty; Coins= prosperity; Fire =safety; Stars = dreams; Light -=truth. This card shows us that there is an abundance of choices that we can ponder and when making decisions we must take into account how each choice will either hinder or benefit.

When visualizing these objects in the cups we can also find inspiration in them....we can become inspired to write poetry...follow a long thought of dream we have never lost site of...but if they become distractions and take us from the path we are on we must stop and decide if that is the wisest thing to do, a warning perhaps that our heads may be in the clouds a little too much and a good dose of reality is needed.

As with everything in life, we can fall into the trap of "If a little is good then a lot is even better" and that leads us to shocking catastrophe as we have seen in the Tower when our little worlds come crashing down upon our ears. Moderation is always in our best interests whether it be wise or daydream-like decisions and choices
