The Seven of Cups is the Lord of Illusionary Success and is aligned with Venus in Scorpio. It represents over-indulgence, abundance of choice and illusions.
This is a card of choices, and emotional choices at that. There are many tempting opportunities presented to you now and yet you are unable to decide - everything looks good.
You will find it difficult to sort out the real opportunities from the illusory ones. and so this card advises to wait as a general rule and don't make any momentous decisions just yet. The air will eventually clear, the fog will lift, and the most beneficial opportunities will eventually become apparent.
These choices most often are in the realm of the heart, or with creative choices in career direction. Be sure that your strongest emotions will be engaged and on alert.
The Seven of Cups shows you that the Universe is an abundant one, with a plethora of situations, solutions and ideas that could be yours for the taking. It requires you to use your intuition and trust in yourself in order to make the right choice, and not follow the surface attraction of those offers you are presented with.
So how has this situation arisen? Have you been scattered in your desires, one moment wanting one thing and the next wanting something else? If you are asked what it is you most desire in the world can you truly answer, and stay with that answer for a long time, in fact, until it comes to you? Or do you change your mind constantly, worried that you might be missing out?
It is time to stop, let all the options that appear to you settle - don't be in a rush to conclude matters. Breathe, relax and learn to trust your gut feeling. Work out where you have been disappointed in your life and decide now what you really want - by understanding more of what you desire on a soul level will help you make better choices and avoid future disappointments.
