"Choices isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
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
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.
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 Cancer in The Future
The Nurturer
Cups are the water suit, so the Seven of Cups sits in Cancer. That makes this Cancer's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Cancer already believes it is good at: say the feeling to the person it is about. Upright, the assessment is being made alone, which is where it is easiest to be wrong.
When reading about what comes next through a Cancer lens, the Seven of Cups says that you feel like the future is a home you are building in your mind, it should feel like a place you belong (or like a place that wants you), and you are afraid it will not come. This has either kept you planning endlessly without moving, or given you the patience to build something real. You already know what comes next, and you are afraid of what it will cost you to get there. The Cancer blind spot in it is being seen as a burden, or as someone whose needs are too much.
In practice that can look like wanting something you had stopped admitting to, or a place that feels like home. Whatever form it takes, it is being weighed alone, where it is easiest to lie to yourself.
