The Universal Tarot::Maxwell Miller

Seven of Cups

image::scorpion, dark blue, stamped over 7 pots in a circle (various colours/patterns, identical shape - vase, bulbous head, two 'horns' projecting; uppermost marked with symbol for Venus/female [between pinchers]), held in a light blue bubble/circle. yellow background, with other blue bubbles/circles filling space, non-overlapping.

key::Illusion

short::indulgence in dreams. error of judgement. need to differentiate between aspiration and fantasy, between insight and wishful thinking. need for objectivity.

long::pots are shamanistic ritual vessels of indigenous tribes of North West Amazon, to mix narcotic potions -- hallucinatory trance states. suggestion -- danger of being mislead by over-subjectivity / indulgence in dreams. emotions != objective truth, they can lead to vast errors of judgement.

Venus in Scorpio -- emotional quality of Venus strengthening the most self-serving aspects of Scorpio -- deceitful/self-deceiving.

reluctance to face uncomfortable truths. step out of bubble of perception, face facts, be objective.

you've been screwing up for a while, bitch. daydreaming your way out of it isn't going to work. world is not going to invert itself to recognize you as injured party. suck it up and fly right.
