Seven of Cups as How Someone Sees You (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Cups is the card of choices, fantasies, illusions, indecisiveness, and wishful thinking. In this card, a man stands in front of seven cups filled with various prizes, trying to decide what he wants. He has analysis paralysis. Some cups have good gifts, such as riches and castles. Other cups hold bad outcomes, with dragons and ghosts and snakes. Some gifts may not exist at all.

The Seven of Cups reminds us that choices need to be made in life. Obsessing over multiple options can be a detriment, because we will never be able to choose all of them. We can’t have our cake and eat it too. Sometimes, it’s just best to pick one and make the best out of it. This is true in love as well. When we are paralyzed by choice, we are unable to connect. 

Upright Seven of Cups as How Someone Sees You

If you are asking about how someone sees you, and you draw the Seven of Cups, that means this person sees you as someone who can either be a part of their life or not. In short, you are an option. They are undecided when thinking about what role you play in their life. They don’t want to rush making a decision, regardless of your value. Is this the kind of person you want to devote your time to?

The Seven of Cups means that they see you as one of their options. They want to see what you can offer them. But it doesn’t mean they are ready to decide if you hold great importance in their life. They are indecisive and would instead be engrossed in wishful thinking and illusion instead of taking action. In some cases, it may seem like a part of the process. But when a person chooses to stay undecided for long, it could only leave deep scars in your connection. You don’t deserve to be treated as an option.

For singles and those embarking on new relationships, the Seven of Cups is a sign that they see you as someone they are not yet ready to commit to. They weigh down their options, and you are one of them. It could be that this person came from a toxic relationship in the past. Or perhaps they are simply undecided and don’t feel the need to decide. They want to take their time and thoroughly consider all the cards in their deck.

For existing relationships, the Seven of Cups means that they see you as a temporary partner. It’s not because you failed them in any way. They simply can’t decide what to do with you and your relationship. They have second thoughts. You should ask yourself: how long will you wait for someone who chooses not to see your worth? But if you want to save the relationship from ruin, then you must communicate what you want for the relationship with your partner.

If you are asking about an ex’s intentions, the Seven of Cups shows that they see you as someone already in the past. The relationship ended, and they now enjoy being single. They have a lot of options now. Reconciliation may not be possible currently. But who knows? Nothing is set in stone.

In the context of whether or not a relationship is headed for commitment, engagement, or marriage, the Seven of Cups means that they see you as a loving partner, but they have yet to be ready for that kind of commitment. It’s not because you are lacking or you fail in any way. It’s simply because they don’t need to make a decision. If you are waiting for a proposal, you may only end up disappointed.

They are unable to move forward.

For existing relationships, the Seven of Cups reversed means that they see you as a partner that may or may not be the one for them.
