I used to work in detox, and before that, a decade in mental health. I’ve had some education, training and plenty of experience dealing with all kinds of issues, substance abuse in particular.
But it wasn’t until I had to deal with it in my own family that I fully realized the power of denial. I used to marvel at the cluelessness “detox moms”–until I was one. Funny how much that can change, and how fast. Even having every advantage in identifying the signs, and it still took me forever to figure out. I didn’t want it to be true hard enough to block it from getting in.
Today’s Tarot Forecast is the Seven of Cups, “Lord of Illusionary Success,” associated with Venus in Scorpio. The title gives a great hint as to the vibe of this card.
Venus knows what we love, and in Scorpio, the desire is consuming. The Seven of Cups is about distinguishing between competing options or versions of reality. Like other Tarot Sevens, that choice is one we make alone. Others will try to weigh in, but the final say is yours solely.
The trick here is looking beneath the veneer to find the substance, because what you see is NOT always what you’ll get. Check to see if your desire is clouding your vision. Are you ignoring red flags or overlooking better solutions because you’re so deeply attached to a specific reality?
This doesn’t mean everything you see IS illusion. Some options are exactly what they seem, but you have to check! Look for what’s stable and sensible and real, forgetting what you want to see for the time being. Look instead for signs and confirmations you’ve a complete picture of the creation.
