Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Seven of Cups
Upright
Opportunities, choices, wishful thinking, illusion
The Seven of Cups card represents new possibilities, options, and at times, an illusion. When the Seven of Cups show up in a Tarot reading, you have many choices but be careful! You are prone to confusion and unrealistic goals. An opportunity with promises of more abundance may seem appealing, but as you look deeper, you may realize it is more complicated. Evaluate your opportunities and dig underneath the surface to explore what’s included with each option.
Usually, the Seven of Cups can be a hint of enthusiastic thinking and dreaming, rather than taking action to make it happen. However, if you spend most of your time dreaming but not acting, then it’s time to decide just one thing and make it happen.
The Seven of Cups may be a symbol of that you neglect to see any of those new possibilities through to the end. When you are regularly in the idea stage, you miss the chance to bring your designs to realization. Again, now is a time to concentrate on the one thing that will move you closer to your goal.
This card is calling you to move out of the dreaming phase and choose. Each option will have its pros and cons, so make sure that your choice is in alignment with your purpose – even if you feel slightly paralyzed by the opportunities accessible to you.
Reversed
Alignment, personal values, overwhelmed by choices
The reversed Seven of Cups often shows up when you encounter different choices and, instead of choosing the opportunity that may please others, you are relying on your inner guidance to tell you the best approach. You may have your own rules to help you make choices in association with your inner being.
If you find yourself with multiple choices, teach yourself first and think about what you want for a longer time. All these bright new things in front of you have a specific ‘magic’ control over you right now, and you’re losing your focus if you chase after false dreams.
The reversed Seven of Cups can suggest you are confused by choice and cannot move ahead. Reduce your alternatives and focus on what is essential to you. You don’t need to keep seeking a significant idea; you have what you need. Make your selection and move ahead with it.
Death
Upright
Endings, change, transformation, transition
After a period of meditation with the Hanged Man card, the Death card symbolizes the end of a significant phase of your life is no longer serving you, opening up the chance of something far more valuable. You must close one door so another could be opened. You need to be ready to welcome new possibilities. It may be hard to let go of the past, but you will soon see the promise of restoration and transformation. If you resist these important endings, you may experience only pain, but if you improve your imagination, you allow more constructive patterns to appear.
The Death card has elements of an unexpected change. Although the outbreak may seem undesired and worrying, this massive change could bring a series of unexpected surprises that create new opportunities for you.
Finally, Death is a sign that you need to learn to let go of harmful attachments in your life to pave the way to a more fulfilled life. Death teaches you to let go of outgrown ways of life and to move forward from them. This is a perfect card to break a bad pattern of behavior. See this as a time to cut out the excess and let go of what is useless for your living.
Reversed
Resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging
In the reversed position, Death can mean that you are on the verge of significant change but are holding it. You may be resistant to let go, or you may not know how to make the change you need. You still carry harmful viewpoints from the past that may interfere with a new opportunity. Because of your refusal and you feel stuck in limbo.
Death reversed advises you the opportunity to embrace change rather than hold it. See what amazing possibilities become available to you as you say ‘yes’ to change.
The reversed Death card can show that you are going through a huge transformation, which is private and out of view of other people. You should be releasing what no longer serves you so that you can make space for the new to appear. You may be limiting expectations; you may be replacing your habits.
