Upright Card Meaning

Gifts beyond your wildest belief are depicted in the card of Seven of Cups. Some interpreters say this card represents “fairy favors.” Regardless of your belief in fairies or not, the opportunities represented by this card may seem as if they come out of nowhere to the point that they make you question your boring reality. Do not allow the words of doubt to rule you just now, take the wonderful opportunities on offer.
The gifts promised in the card may not be physically present yet. The Seven of Cups also represents daydreaming and wishful thinking. Do not discount the power of dreams. By imagining the wonderful things that await you in some hypothetical future, you are able to refuel in order to live in your not-so-glamorous present. Imagination is also a wonderful path to self-discovery. Take note of what pops up in your daydreams, it can offer you clues as to your true purpose and goals beyond what society expects of you. However, be careful to maintain your grip on reality and do not let yourself be carried away by things that are promised but not yet concrete.

Reversed Card Meaning

The Seven of Cups reversed has a decidedly more practical side than its upright companion. The card represents the forces that are necessary to turn dreams into reality. Where the Seven of Cups upright is all passive daydreaming, the reversed is about action. Now is the time to turn your will towards a project that you are working on. You need to use your determination and hard work to achieve that which you are seeking. Otherwise, your dreams will always be just clouds in the sky.
Alternatively, the Seven of Cups reversed could mean that you desperately need to return to practicality. You have been led too far astray by the dreams of riches promised when the card is upright. You have been diverted from your true purpose by visions that turned out to be no more than illusions. You may be feeling confused or disillusioned about your goals. Now is a prime time to reconnect with your inner self and what your true desires are, ignoring the mirages present around you.
