The Seven of Cups is all about choices. A figure stands before an array of tempting gifts for the figure to choose from. Wisdom and discernment are required to sort the cautionary tales from the genuine treasures.
A figure stands before the cups, shrouded in a shadow. The blankness of the figure allows everyone to see themselves in the shadow. The figure is thus mysterious, yet familiar, like most of Tarot cards. The clouds in this card reiterates the divine intervention of the Ace of Cups and multiplies it by seven. The clouds also reveal that the card lies within the realm of the imagination. It is a dreamlike place where our desires are laid before us.
While the figure is a mystery, the head is recognizable. It is a symbol of beauty and warns against narcissism. The blue head encourages you to see yourself in the figure, not in some artificial form of beauty.
The castle is a classical representation of home and security. While these things are naturally desired, the castle also warns against being out of touch with the common man.
Jewellery is the classical treasure that tempts everyone. Instead of desiring wealth, look for something more substantial, more real.
The crown is a symbol of victory and authority. Kings use to wear them. While everyone desires for success, one must not win the world just to lose your soul.
The dragon might not be what it seems. To a western audience, a dragon is something to be feared. To an eastern audience, however, a dragon is considered good luck. It is unclear which type of dragon this one is. Perhaps the possibilities are too risky.
The Snake is another dragon-like figure. Snakes are seen as conniving and evil. Also, snakes are seen as wise creatures, their skin shedding seen as a metaphor for enlightenment.
The last cup contains something shrouded from the figure, hidden beneath a cloth. While the other treasures are clearly visible, this one is a mystery. Like the figure itself, value is conveyed when one gives it value by uncovering the object.
