The Seven of Cups in your reading

Recognize this? You're sitting in your living room and see what a mess you've made of the room. There is stuff everywhere: statues, nick-nacks, notes, cards. Argh! It is high time that you bring back some cleanliness back into the room. Cleaning is the advice. The untidy room also creates confusion in your head. That is why a spring cleaning is so important, to remove the cobwebs of the winter (in your mind). By literally cleaning and organizing you will notice that it will organize your thoughts as well.

This is the card of confusion. It can be because of a situation that needs much attention but also because of an unhealthy lifestyle. Using drugs, drinking too much, emotional outbursts... all kinds of things that make life confusing. Often it can be explained as not knowing what direction to take with your life. This card tells you that it is quite okay to decide for yourself. It isn't easy and if you don't decide the people around you will become confused as well.

Organize your life again and discover that under all that muck you know exactly what you want (but that you're just afraid to do it). Don't let yourself be stopped by all those imposed assumptions that you took upon yourself in the past. Discard that load and discover your true direction.
