Shuffling the Deck of Life: 7 of Cups – Make Your Dreams a Reality
Tarot Card of the Day – November 25, 2009: 7 of Cups
Deck: Morgan-Greer Tarot
Element: Water
Associations: Emotions; feelings; relationships
I pulled the reversed position of this card. Along this Tarot journey, I have been playing around with various ways of reading reversals. I have found that the cards arouse a variety of different emotions and that the connections. And, along with the focus, elemental dignities and other facets, the voice of the card is heard and can cover the full spectrum of meanings if you are open to it.
The 7 of Cups is an interesting card and in the Morgan-Greer version, there are only objects in the card. The first thing that comes to mind is a that the scene is a mirage or a dream. The items in each of the cups are floating on clouds and don’t really exist unless you work to obtain them.
We desire to be victorious, to being wealthy or stable, to be in a happy relationships, to achieve our goals and enjoy or partake in creative ventures. But, if your head is in the clouds and you allow your emotions to take over, your dreams will not become a reality. You need to make it happen! Or, perhaps the dreams are unrealistic and you are becoming greedy; you will need to find the middle ground.
This was the perfect pull for today. I have much to do to prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow. The turkey roast is defrosting and I have baking to do! I am spending it with my mother and it’s the first Thanksgiving I am spending with her in many years. We are both thrilled. And our dreams? They have become a reality. It has taken a lot of work, but we now have the best relationship we have had in years. Those cups don’t feel like they are filled with riches and are suspended in the clouds anymore.

Hi Bonnie,
Your feedback and wisdom has helped me along the way. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
The symbolism in this deck really speaks to me (as does the Sacred Rose and Victorian Romantic). Reversals are a fascinating subject and are often confused with reversed cards. As of late, if a card comes up in its reversed position, I turn it upright. But, I then take into account that it is asking to be noticed. I feel that it is important to look at as many possible angles that one comes up with when interpreting a card.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving. There’s much to be thankful for!
Warm Blessings, Nicole
