The Four of Cups can appear when you are bored or unsatisfied with your everyday life. You may feel disengaged or unmotivated. Maybe life has become dull. You are being presented with unexpected offers of friendship or love but aren’t jumping at the opportunity to accept. Perhaps you may not be interested in the offers or you have too much on your plate already. Use your good judgment to determine what really matters to you, and don’t worry about declining new ventures if they don’t fit with your long term outlook. It can also indicate a time when you are turning your attention and your energy inward. Sometimes this card brings the message, ‘Not now, but maybe later.’ You may be waiting for a sign.

FIVE OF CUPS

Do not let yourself get stuck in wallow mode.  Focus more on the present and not the past. Are you able to forgive and move on? Things will improve.

Did things not go as expected? Are you experiencing regret, failure, disappointment or pessimism. The Five of Cups can appear when you have suffered a loss and are now moving through the grieving process. 

The Five of Cups often appears when a situation hasn’t turned out the way you expected, and you are feeling regretful, and disappointed. The pain is real and you must move through it. 

All you can focus on right now is what went wrong and how you failed. If you just looked around, you’d see that new opportunities are available to you. All you need to do is cross that bridge.

It’s time to get over it! Sure, feel the feels, but set yourself a time limit for your self-pity and then pull yourself together and move on. Do not let yourself get stuck in wallow mode. (I refer to this card as the wallower card)

Focus more on the present and not the past. Are you able to forgive and move on? Things will improve.

There’s something very positive on the horizon, but if you just look at what you’ve lost, you’re not going to be able to see what you can get. As they say “it’s water under the bridge”

These negative emotions are holding you back from your fullest potential – release them so you can move on and take action towards positive change. Forgiveness is vital now for yourself and others. If someone has disappointed you, find it within your heart to forgive that person (for you, not them!), and release yourself from the disappointment.

SEVEN OF CUPS

The Seven of Cups indicate having many choices before you. Choices need to be made, but in doing so, you must instead focus on what’s right for you.

Welcome to the grand illusion. The Seven of Cups may indicate having many choices before you. Choices need to be made, but in doing so, you must instead focus on what’s right for you.  It may be difficult to figure out which is the right one at this time. Don’t make a rash decision. 

Often, the Seven of Cups can be a sign of wishful thinking and projecting into the future about what you would like to create, rather than taking action here in the present to make it happen. You must approach the present opportunities with a definite set of priorities and have your long term objectives carefully planned out.

This card allows you to move and choose from the options presented to you. Each one will have its advantages and disadvantages – it is up to you to ensure that the option you choose is compatible with your intent and your Highest Good – even if you feel overwhelmed by the options available to you. If you try to pick everything at once, the actual benefits of the current experience will not be maximized. Choose carefully.

You may be daydreaming about the things you desire, rather than making your dreams come true. Your fears may be getting in the way or you might have an obstacle in the way of achieving your dreams or you might have unrealistic priorities.

Are you acting on these dreams and desires? You’re asked to be committed to your dreams and goals to reap the rewards. However, you need to separate what is real and sift out all the illusions. When you follow through with your dreams and desires then your old ways of confusion and illusion will fall away from you.

Keywords: Opportunities, choices, wishful thinking, illusion.

The figures in the cups may represent.

Mask / Head – may represent trickery or the concealment of the ego. It may also symbolize the face of an oracle that gives answers and wisdom to all inquiries. Sometimes it suggests a potential companion to the seeker (love).

Glowing Figure – may represent the burning need for the conjurer’s self-illumination. Choosing the higher path.

Dragon – may represent a symbol of fantasy, evil, anger, envy and calamity.

The song Grand Illusion by Styx is what comes to mind when I see the Seven of Cups.
