Seven cups in the clouds and only some of them real. Wanting everything is how you get none of it.

Where this card comes from

The Golden Dawn gave every card a planet, a sign or an element, and the Rider–Waite–Smith deck was drawn to that system. That zodiac is tropical. This site’s astrology is sidereal, roughly 24° away, so Seven of Cups being Venus in Scorpio describes the card and not your chart.
