Seven of Cups

Seven of Cups is the fantasy, the daydream. For some tarot readers, it represents a drug-induced trip; For others, it is a set of options to choose from.

A precise interpretation of the Seven may be less important than how the querent themself imagines the meaning to be. Is it a fantasy? A dream? An actual choice between a disembodied head and a laurel wreath (two of the cards depicted in the Rider-Waite?) Or is it something that is completely unknowable to you at this time?
