Feeling into the Energy of the 7 of Cups

Who are you… really? This is a question you must answer for yourself when the 7 of Cups shows up. Your lack of clarity about this could be leading you down many a path of dissolution, destruction, addiction, and attachment to outside sources of validation. But even if expressed in its milder form, that of stagnancy, this card’s energy keeps us from doing what we came here to do.

“The more of me I be,
The clearer I can see.”
~ Rachel Archelaus

People often think of their life purpose as something they do (or should be doing). But it is really a question of identity and then the purpose just flows naturally from there.

When you know and joyfully accept that you are a child of the Divine, that you were born for a life purpose and that your highest joy is to serve the Light, those other paths that lead you astray will begin to fade automatically.

Envy & Jealousy

On the other hand, if a person is totally enveloped in a cloud of confusion about their identity, the energy of this card can express itself in the form of intense Venus in Scorpio emotions of envy and jealousy. There are varying degrees of toxicity associated with the 7 of Cups. It depends on if there is simply confusion or if the identity crisis is so strong that the soul consciously begins to act on darker feelings of envy or jealousy. Envy can turn into a tornado of rage if left unchecked.

When the 7 of Cups is the main card showing up to signify the issue, the Seeker may not even be able to receive any guidance, whether the reading is for oneself or for another querent. In this instance, a purification of the stagnant waters through fasting might be the best way forward. However, never recommend fasting for someone else without first asking them to consult their doctor to make sure it is safe for them. The purpose of the fast is to remove attachments and create some space for Higher Self guidance to come through.

Affirmation: “I purify myself from all attachments that prevent me from being my True Self.”

7 of Cups Prayer

Dear Mother-Father God, thank you for leading me from confusion to clarity, from fruitless pursuits to single-minded focus on who I AM and what I came here to do. Amen and so it is!

The 7 of Cups in Love and Relationships

There may be delusion and confusion but no intentional deceit with this card. The energy of the 7 of Cups is an expression of an overflow of subconscious material floating to the surface. The clear skies of the conscious mind are starting to cloud over. Usually, the main problem is attachment to a certain outcome of the relationship. For instance, you could think you love the other person but the love is conditional on them loving you back.

There is a need to withdraw, reflect, meditate and become the Observer. Becoming the Observer is a process of detachment from your thoughts and feeling-state which enables a bird’s eye perspective. This will, in turn, generate clarity and enable you to know what belongs to you and what is coming at you from the outside. Meditating like this is especially important in an emotionally intense relationship where there is a lot of mirroring going on as is often the case in karmic relationships.

Be understanding of your partner if this card shows up for him/her as it can indicate that they are in a deep process of transformation. Give him/her all the space they need and show your support without pressing for communication. It is likely that they are at the stage where they do not have a clear enough understanding of what’s going on to put words on it.

Strong Feelings

Strong feelings of jealousy or a possessive and manipulative streak are part of the equation. But on the plus side, the same frequency at the other end of the spectrum can indicate intimacy on a level most can only dream of. You feel, and rightly so, that nothing could ever tear you apart. Look to surrounding cards for more information.
