Within its cool waters we see six Cups, the seventh sits beside him, filled almost to the brim.
Just as the 6 Cups in the previous card showed us the value in memories, the 7 Cups shows us that this kind of memory/dreaming is important. But dreaming without focus, without action is simply dreaming.
When we close our eyes we have a choice - we can either indulge in our dreams or we can begin to take steps to manifest those dreams into reality in our lives.
We can be seduced into inaction, preferring the perfection of the imagination to the sweat and exertion involved in birthing those dreams to reality where challenge and disappointment must be faced and conquered.
While our young man dreams of the Cups in the water, he fails to discover the Grail beside him.
The 7 of Cups asks:
What do you dream of?
What steps shall you take to manifest that dream?
Will you quest for The Grail?
