this card is coming up way to often for me for it to not mean something.
i was hoping to be able to ignore it because it's a hard card for me to read...but looks like i''m out of luck.

for one, lot's of ppl seem to be focused on the individual cup meanings...for some reason i don't think that's the way to go...for me it's a matter what do these cups create as a whole?

i've read it to mean fantacy...or unrealistic expecations...

the first time i got it ...the first thing that came to mind is someone that has a lot of options...(it made me not like it)
in my case
would it mean he views me as being undecisive and having a lot of choices..even a tad bit spoiled possibly....
or would it mean that i'm just another option for him?....

i've also seen it refered to as confusion...so he see's me as confused?

if it was his feelings in general i think i'd be able to make sense of it
but how he views me...?
i don't get it.
pretty sure his view of me is wrong if he views me as a 7 of cups.

also if you had to choose...which interpretaion would you go with? the fantasy one, confusion one or options one?

My interpretation is that there's all these fantastic visions that are crowding the mind. Kind of like fanciful daydreams in a way. That he imagines so many possibilities between the two of us.

My friend's interpretation was a possibility that I was projecting my own wants and desires on the object of my affection. That I was being unrealistic and seeing only what I wanted to see, rather than what was really there.

I actually wrote my love that night with the intention of clarifying things lol. It turns out my view was the right one in this case.

The 7 of cups tells me that you have a lot of personal dreams, hopes and wishes. These feelings you are facing hinges on gaining more than loosing. Indecision and multiple choices in front of you. More often than not its wishful thinking. Seeing everything thru rose colored lenses.

the two seem contradictory

Sure... He thinks you are wonderful. But its nothing tangible or stable. Its like thinking you have al these options in front of you to do, plan and hope for but its only the first date. Its all great and wonderful to day dream but castles made out of clouds dont amount to much..

Also other cards in your spread have to be taken into account. It could just be too early to tell how he really feels as he himself hasnt even decided or thought about too realistically in the longterm serious range.

Also on second thoughts I can see Scorpio in this card. I really do. Compulsion. Perhaps temptation. Transformation or anticipation thereof.

That is a common keyword to this card, "building castles in the air".

The experience I have had with this card was that I was the one feeling the illusions and unrealistic thoughts, but as always look at the cards around it as well.

A bit like what June said.

Reversed this card represents that the imagination is focused, clear thinking. Planning is not affected by mood as it is when it's upright. The strong passionate nature is under control and is comfortable that way.

2-4 cups are cancer
5-7 Scorpio
8-10 Pisces

The clown known as Aleister Crowley proposed a specific planet in a sign for each card, which probably goes with the deck he art directed created after RW

I read that also, about this card symbolizing Venus in Scorpio. I dont know, it feels more like Venus in Pisces to me because of the air of dreams and Neptunian vibration of #7. Im a Venus in Scorpio, and while this brings intense desire, Scorpio is usually quite fixed in what it wants. I dont really see confusion with Scorpio at all. What do you all think about this card=Venus in Scorpio?
