TarotCraft Lesson 203.07: The 7 of Cups

The 7 of Cups Tarot card from the Universal Waite Tarot deck.

In love, the 7 of Cups indicates an intense and passionate connection. Unless substance and commitment develop, the relationship will wane and fade out.

TarotCraft Upright Meaning

The black figure with their back to the viewer indicates activity in the sub/unconscious rather than in the conscious mind. You may not know what you want or could be feeling overwhelmed by choices. There are opportunities, but they may have little substance.   Everything here is ephemeral; there is nothing permanent.  
 
In love, this card can indicate an intense and passionate connection. Unless substance and commitment develop, the relationship will wane and fade out.
 
TarotCraft Reversed Meaning

When reversed or negatively aspected, you may be suffering from wishful thinking and self-indulgence. Depending on surrounding cards, addiction can also be indicated.
 
Concerning a love interest, jealousy and possessiveness are indicated. This isn’t true love; it’s fear-based control.
