Seven of Cups tarot card

"Choices isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

A lucky card, tied to the dream world. A figure looks at all the future possibilities caught up in the bounty. Fantasy, romance, passion, power, anything is possible

Upright
ChoicesFantasyIllusionImagination

You are in the part of your journey where the world is open, you are being called to dream; lean into your own fantasies and dream big. Romantically there's lots of passion and lots of options. If you are building a company you are in the dreaming phase where (in your head) the customers are plentiful, the money is lucrative and the community is thriving. Let this phase of inspiration guide you and take notes. The next step is building on what you've dreamed, but for now enjoy the possibilities before you.

Reversed

The mania of daydreaming has set in and your dreamworld is bleeding into reality, keep your wits about you. Things that are too good to be true are often... not true (even the things you tell yourself). You have the ability to tell the difference, but it's murky right now.

Seven of Cups for Aquarius in Work and Career

The Visionary

Cups are the water suit, so the Seven of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer and Aquarius are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Aquarius already operates. What it wants is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Upright, the assessment is being made alone, which is where it is easiest to be wrong.

When reading about work through an Aquarius lens, the Seven of Cups says that you feel like work is where you prove the system wrong, a problem you solve from thirty thousand feet, and something you will leave the second it stops being interesting. This has either led to you building something no one else could see, or to leaving before anyone could build it with you. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Aquarius blind spot in it is being ordinary, or worse, being needed in a way that pins them down.

In practice that can look like a resentment that has to be said out loud. Whatever form it takes, it is being weighed alone, where it is easiest to lie to yourself.
