Alright, so yesterday I decided to dive into this whole “7 of Cups feelings” thing with tarot cards. I’ve always been curious about how tarot can reflect our inner emotional landscape, and the 7 of Cups seemed like a good place to start because it’s all about choices and dreams.
First, I laid out my tarot deck and pulled out the 7 of Cups card. I spent some time just looking at it, taking in all the details. You know, the imagery of the cups filled with various symbols, floating in the clouds – it’s pretty trippy.
Then, I started to think about what this card means when it comes to feelings. From what I’ve gathered, the 7 of Cups upright is basically a sign that someone’s feeling swamped. Like, they’ve got so many emotions and options swirling around that it’s hard to know which way is up. It’s like when you’re daydreaming about all the things you could do or be, but you’re not really doing anything concrete.
I reflected on my own life, thinking about times when I’ve felt this way. For instance, I recalled a period when I was considering various career paths. I had so many ideas – starting my own business, going back to school, or maybe just traveling the world. It was exciting but also super overwhelming. I was so caught up in the possibilities that I was almost paralyzed, unable to make a real decision.
- Pulled out the 7 of Cups card from my deck and really looked at it.
- Considered the meaning of the card when it’s upright – feeling overwhelmed by choices.
- Thought about my own experiences where I’ve felt this way, like that time I was juggling different career options.
I also thought about how this card might apply to someone else’s feelings, particularly in a romantic context. I imagined a scenario where someone is into you, but they’re caught up in a fantasy. They might be idealizing the relationship, seeing it through rose-colored glasses. They’re in love with the idea of love, but not necessarily grounded in reality.
Digging Deeper
To get a better handle on this, I decided to do a little reading. I found some interesting stuff online about how the 7 of Cups can indicate a sense of yearning and idealism in love. It’s like someone is dreaming about all the potential romantic outcomes but not really engaging with the person in front of them.
I thought about my friend, Sarah, who’s been seeing this guy on and off. She’s always talking about how amazing he could be, how perfect they’d be together. But whenever they actually spend time together, it’s like she’s not really seeing him for who he is. She’s projecting all her hopes and dreams onto him, getting lost in the “what ifs” instead of the “what is.”
This whole exploration was pretty eye-opening. It made me realize how easy it is to get caught up in our emotions and fantasies, especially when it comes to love and relationships. The 7 of Cups is a reminder to stay grounded, to see things and people for what they truly are, not just what we wish they could be.
By the end of my little tarot session, I felt like I had a better understanding of myself and my own tendencies to get lost in daydreams. It’s a work in progress, but I’m trying to be more mindful of when I’m drifting into fantasy land and make an effort to come back to reality.
This was just my personal take on the 7 of Cups feelings. Tarot is a trip, right? It makes you think, and sometimes it can show you things about yourself that you didn’t even realize were there. So yeah, that was my little adventure with the 7 of Cups, trying to decode those fuzzy, overwhelming feelings that we all get sometimes. It’s all about trying to see through the fog and figure out what’s really going on in our hearts.
