What does the Seven of Cups tarot card mean?

This card indicates the presence of various possibilities; their abundance is confusing, making it unclear which decision would be best to make. When this card appears, it is not easy for a person to define their own desires and understand what they truly want. It can also hint that we have once again engaged in wishful thinking. On the card, we see mysterious cups filled with various illusory images and visions, while the dark figure in the foreground is a symbol of bewilderment. Its presence in a spread can suggest that for now, there is nothing clear, permanent, definite, or substantial.

What does the Seven of Cups mean in love?

Hovering in amorous daydreams about what is not there, or a cloud of sweet fog (but strictly a fog) of infatuation with what is. Sometimes—major misconceptions about an existing relationship: a person sees what is not there and does not see what is. Rose-colored glasses, occasionally glinting with purple—that's the style of the Seven of Cups. And although it prefers to be deceived rather than to deceive, one must still take into account that one of the partners (or even both) is not entirely honest. Sometimes this card represents a partner who assigns certain qualities to the object of their love ("drowning in projections") and allows their imagination to carry them too far, only to be disappointed later. One engages in self-deception, while the other is in no hurry to fulfill promises.

What does the Seven of Cups mean for career?

The situation of a high school graduate who has no idea where it is best to continue their education and has laid out promotional brochures from a dozen higher education institutions in front of themselves.
