Seven of Cups

Seven of Cups from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck

Seven of Cups is a Minor Arcana tarot card of the suit of Cups.

Rider-Waite symbolism

Generally speaking, Waite describes these cups as strange chalices of vision. They are all up on a cloud, which may reflect their ungrounded, impractical or transient nature and the over-imagination or confusion of the figure conjuring them. Accordingly, they have been associated with wishful thinking.

There is some dispute as to what the 7 symbols in the cups mean, but tarotologists have some speculation as to the meanings. It may be noted that the exact elements of this vision may be less important than the very act of conjuring them.

According to some, this Card represents self-delusion, while others emphasize choice or temptation.

The cups seem to offer:

Reversed

A period of clarity after a time of confusion.
