So, the other day I was messing around with my tarot deck, just trying to get a feel for what the cards might be saying about a project I’m starting. It’s a big one, lots of moving parts, you know? And I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, not gonna lie. I pulled out the Seven of Cups, but it was reversed.
Now, I’ve been reading tarot for a while, but I’m no expert. Usually, when I see the Seven of Cups, I think of choices, dreams, maybe even some illusions. But reversed? That threw me for a loop. I grabbed my journal and started jotting down my thoughts, trying to make sense of it all.
- First, I laid out the card and just stared at it for a while. The imagery, you know, it’s usually about those cups filled with different possibilities. But upside down, it felt different. Like maybe those possibilities were slipping away. Or maybe, I was just refusing to see them.
- Then I started thinking, what if this reversed Seven of Cups is telling me to stop daydreaming and get practical? Maybe I’ve been so caught up in the what-ifs that I haven’t been focusing on the actual steps I need to take. That’s when it hit me. I needed a plan, a solid one.
So I spent the rest of the afternoon mapping out my project. I broke it down into smaller, manageable tasks, set some deadlines, and even started delegating some parts to others who are better equipped to handle them. It felt good, like I was finally taking control instead of just floating around in a sea of possibilities.

Realizing my plan
The reversed Seven of Cups, it turned out to be a wake-up call. It was like the cards were saying, “Hey, you’ve got all these ideas, but if you don’t get your act together, they’re just going to stay dreams.” And you know what? They were right. I was afraid of making the wrong choices, but I realized that not choosing at all was even worse.
So, if you ever pull the Seven of Cups reversed and you’re wondering if it’s a yes or a no, I’d say it’s more like a “maybe, but only if you’re willing to put in the work.” It’s a reminder to get grounded, make a plan, and take action. And that’s exactly what I did. I haven’t finished the project yet, but I’m making progress, and that feels pretty darn good.
In the end, the reversed Seven of Cups wasn’t a bad omen at all. It was just the push I needed to turn my dreams into something real. And for that, I’m grateful. Tarot can be weird like that, huh?
