I. Analyze and describe 7 of Cups Thoth Tarot
On the card, the blooming lotuses have turned into lilies and polluted the sea with their toxic nectar (Crowley refers to malaria swamp). The card number 7 represents weakness due to lack of balance, causing erosion inward and outward; Crowley called this “beautiful shell, rotten intestine”. He wrote: “The card shows the illusion of drunkenness and drug addiction; that is the bogged down in the fake pleasure mud. That is extremely horrible because there is not anything that can balance it”.
II. Interpretation of 7 of Cups Thoth Tarot
1. Energy
The card is the embodiment of the unconscious desire to become a child again, or the childish efforts of lifting ourselves up in the quagmire of the soul. The struggle of the human being for the root is similar to the desire to have immense joy like a newborn baby in his mother’s arms. When this desire does not make a person develop better, but diminishes into childish behavior and conception, then it is like toxic water flow threatening to destroy everything without true root.
2. Inner
The card shows that the danger is hiding in careless and misleading knowledge with unconscious power. The so-called intoxication that extends consciousness is usually nothing but a frightening escape from the outside world, and what is known as a superior experience or exploration of deep places of our dreams is just a runaway and hostile to reality, a world that is full of illusions.
4. Career
This card shows that we build castles on the sand, chase after illusions and then fall into a dangerous period of delusion and temptation without starting to see things as they are, as well as do not lower your expectations and limit yourself to what is possible. The card is a manifestation of fake transactions, deceptive goals, and in some cases, it is a warning against unjust conspiracy and underhanded behavior.
5. Sentiment
It signals a sense of lies, idolization, and passionate disorder that resolving it will be a painful awakening process. It does not say that the relationship will end from the beginning, but it is time to escape from the poisoned atmosphere, become sincere, and create a solid emotional foundation.
