Seven of Cups

Meaning

This card means that you should be aware of your own inner needs.

Tarot Reading

The man in the picture is helplessly looking at the seven holy cups floating on the clouds. He is sighing for his loss, and he is crying for the spilled milk. In addition, these things placed on the clouds also symbolize the existence of a castle in the air, which is just a daydream of a man in fantasy. Moreover, the man is confronted with the seven cups, which also imply a kind of choice.

Highlights for Understanding

We reviewed the ups and downs of the past (through the Six of Cups), and now it is time to look ahead. The difference between the upright and the reversed Six of Cups is that, the upright means looking forward to the future with a good past, and the reversed one means looking forward to the future with a bad past.
