As the same tarot cars come up again and again in readings, I get a better idea of my own currents, my ebb and flow. I am a dreamer and the Seven of Cups is a card of dreaming, so many choices, so many hopes. The thing about hopes and dreams though is they aren't real and won't be real unless you take action. I think this card is reminding me that hopes and fears aren't real unless I make them real, unless I act, or don't. See that's the other part of this card, no action is action of a sort, maybe the worst sort because we don't make a conscious choice and so blame our place on everything but us. Here's a bit from the Aclectic Tarot: How can you best realize your dreams and guard against or diminish your fears? Nothing will move forward in your life until you take concrete action: the time for imagining all your options will soon be over if it is not over already.
From the Jane Austen Tarot:
"Our imagination is a pet creature of our constitution. It reflects its master -- or its servant -- well. Those with far-seeking, curious minds have visions which can neither be contained nor predicted, and frequently give birth to inventions and devices that those with more limited minds will use with relish while they contemplate their next bonnet or beau. Notice how many more bonnets and beaus exist than innovations, and you will grasp the composition of the populace. A good imagination is a fine quality -- in a mind that is equipped to use it well."
So dream but do. Imagination tempered by discernment. Much to think about on rainy Monday.
