Seven of Cups

Overview

What a colorful, confusing array! The Seven of Cups showcases the expanse and creativiy of the imagination. We're able to conjure forth a sea of imagery, ideas, and information with just our minds, and this ability can be as frutiful as it is distracting. This card shows both the inspiring nature of the imagination as well as its overwhelming side. When channeled correctly, the energy of this card can lead to a necessary, lighthearted, and profound breakthrough. Thinking outside the box yields helpful creativity. Conversely, if we get trapped in a cloud of alluring "what ifs" we run the risk of neglecting the complicated reality of daily life.
