Seven of Cups Tarot de MarseilleTarot de Marseille

Seven of Cups dazzles with dreams, fantasies, and the allure of infinite choices. Attributed to Venus in Scorpio, this card bears the title Illusory Success—the seductive parade of possibilities that may promise more than they can deliver, the fog of desire that obscures clear vision.

The Seven of Cups is the realm of imagination, the field of possibility, but also the danger of illusion and confusion. Before the dreamer float seven cups, each containing a different treasure or terror—castles, jewels, dragons, veiled figures—representing the infinite possibilities that imagination can conjure. But which are real opportunities and which are mere phantasms?

Corresponding to Netzach, Victory, in the watery world, this card embodies the creative imagination at its most fertile and potentially deceptive. The Seven of Cups asks you to discern, to clarify your desires, and to choose with wisdom. It teaches that not every glittering possibility deserves pursuit, and that the true treasure is often the one requiring the most discernment to recognize.
