Seven of Cups
Astrology: Venus in Scorpio | Element: Water | Time: 11/13–11/22
It is said that everyone has the chance, once in a lifetime, to dream a special dream. In that dream, each person arrives at God’s table and chooses a cup that belongs only to them. This cup will accompany them through every crucial turning point in life. The way of choosing is said to be mysterious: close your eyes, extend your hands, let the water element gather in your palms, and the cup that resonates with your soul will appear. Take it—then open your eyes and look again.
