The Seven of Cups as an Outcome: Too Many Choices

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Seven of Cups as an outcome is a crowd of options. Here is what it means and how to choose well.

The Seven of Cups as an outcome is choice. The situation is heading toward many options, some real and some fantasy, and you will need to choose.

What the Seven of Cups means as an outcome upright

Tina Gong's the Seven of Cups guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with opportunities, choices, wishful thinking and illusion. In the outcome position I read those meanings as the likely direction of the situation if things carry on as they are now. An outcome card is not a fixed sentence. It shows where the current road leads, and roads can be changed. The Minor Arcana overview at Biddy Tarot is a useful second reference.

Upright, the Seven of Cups shows the outcome full of possibilities, not all of them solid. Daydreams compete with practical paths. Clarity comes from testing what is real.
