If you seek to apply the image of the Seven of Cups to real life, then it would mean that you shouldn’t go grasping at illusions. Chasing dreams is permissible to an extent. Dreams can be beautiful, enticing, intoxicating, and ephemeral. If you get constantly caught up in dreams, then you will never be able to move on in real life.
Let your dreams become the source of your inspiration so you can begin building castles in real life. However, you have to be able to pick and choose without hesitation. Getting paralyzed by the vast number of choices you have will stop you from moving forward. Also, not carefully thinking about the pros and cons of every single option could lead you to a dead-end. No one delights in retracing their steps.
The Seven of Cups is also a card for wishes. Though each cup is filled with things everyone wishes for, like wealth, beauty, and power, the end result is not always a good one. All blessings are mixed. Be careful what you wish for. Avoid temptation for a time, because it could land you in a place where you shouldn’t be, such as rehabilitation or in an extramarital affair.
