Card 42 • cups

Seven of Cups

Brief Description

The Seven of Horns depicts a communal blessing for a newborn: eight figures stand in a circle around a ninth who cradles a baby while seven figures hold drinking horns. The horns show scenes and runes, and the closed eyes, pastel sun, and calm ocean suggest protection, intention, and gentle blessing. Upright meanings emphasize counted blessings, wise and measured choices, dispelling illusions, and making sound decisions. Reversed warns of living beyond your means, losing touch with reality, and unrealized dreams, advising grounding, fiscal restraint, and protection against negative emotions.

Seven of Horns

Description

Eight figures stand in a circle around a ninth figure. The final figure holds a small baby in their arms. Seven of the figures hold drinking horns in their hands. Images of scenes and Runes appear in the horns. They seem to be blessings for the child. Everyone has their eyes closed, and it looks like they're blessing the birth. The sun is out and appears pastel against the clouds. The ocean behind the group is also calm. Two of the horns feature Runes.

Upright

Counted blessings, make sound decisions, dispel illusions, a life weighed carefully, wise choices.

Reversed

Living above your means, lose touch with reality, dreams not fully realized, stay firmly grounded, keep to a budget.

Bind Rune

Protection against negative and harmful emotions.

Visual Description

A group of figures stands in a dim, misty space, many holding glowing cups or horn-shaped vessels. In the center a young person cradles an infant wrapped in fur while others raise their illuminated cups around them. Several cups display distinct luminous images above or within them: a small standing figure, a bull or animal head, a wreath or crown, and other floating symbols. The sky above is cloudy and muted, and a painted numeral 7 sits near the top of the card.
