Chariot clarified by 7 of Cups Rx as relationship outcome

[Pique Dame]

I got the Chariot as the future of a relationship, clarified by 7 of Cups Rx. Chariot is a 7 so there's probably something to that as 7's indicate conflict and choice. The rest of the reading felt overall negative. I would have thought Chariot would mean moving forward in a positive direction, but when clarified by 7 of Cups Rx, I have a hard time seeing that. How would you read this combination? I may end up moving this to your readings.

Hi Pique Dame,

The UTC Posting Rules state that you need to interpret every card you list before others may help you. If you wish to discuss the four additional cards you listed in addition to the two in the title, please provide interpretations for them; otherwise, please edit your opening post to remove mention of those cards.

Also, as you've listed 6 cards, the reading would need to be at least 11 cards to discuss that many here in UTC where up to half of the cards from a reading may be listed and/or discussed. If the reading wasn't at least 11 cards, then the thread will need to be moved to Your Readings and you will have to post the whole reading along with your interpretations of all of the cards.

^^ This *is* my interpretation. As for the surrounding cards, I'm not asking for help interpreting those. I'm only listing them to provide some sort of context since so many users like to say "I wish I knew the surrounding cards!" Right now, I'm asking for help with the outcome position only.

Greetings, Pique Dame. We don't want to frustrate you, but we have altered our rules to be more in line with those of Your Readings. This means that if you name a card from a reading, you have to interpret it. You can't list a group and interpret all as a group.

And while we know that you don't want help with those cards you listed, we fear that many posters will see them and want to interpret them anyway. And that, again, brings us back to the rule that they can't interpret them until you do.

This Catch-22 can easily be solved, however, by editing out any mention of those cards. We know your aim in listing them was to give context, but UTC posters know that they aren't going to get the specifics of a reading outside of the key cards you want help with. So all you really need to say to give added context is that there were a lot of reversals in the surrounding cards, or that surrounding cards struck you as very negative.

There, I edited out surrounding cards. I'm really only interested in the 2 outcome cards. It seems to happen a lot that I pull clarifying cards that match the original's number, so I instinct says it's more to do with numerology than traditional meanings. I drew 7 of Cups a few times before as the reason a relationship ended, so seeing it here as the future of a relationship is definitely a red flag for this particular couple.

This combination could be positive in a way. The Chariot plays to dark/light which sometimes comes across to me as active/passive... with the 7 of Cups RX clarifying, it might be showing that some progress will happen when some "nonsense" of some kind is dropped. These two cards come across as refusing to get caught up in emotions, confusion, doubt, maybe even fantasy or positive dreaming -- just get to the point and do what you really gotta do kind-of-thing here.

Just some thoughts!

Could the Chariot also indicate aggression? Maybe the 7/C Rx means the illusion is gone.

To me 7's aren't necessarily about a choice to be made. They are about control and intelligent decisions. They are about strategy.

I think these two have similar goals as indicated by the Chariot. They may have come together because they work in the same field or complement each other. It is not the most romantic relationship as indicated by the 7 of Cups reversed.

I agree with Amanda about the 7 of Cups reversed. It's the dropping of illusion. There's no future choices to be made because the choice has already been made. They have emptied all the cups, removed the illusions and are working together on a strong relationship.

Another take, and I think this is the one you are leaning towards, is that they will fall out of love (7c rx) and take control of their own lives separately. Work is very important to one of them and will override the relationship.

Edit: Thinking about the clarifying aspect. The 7 of Cups reversed is clarifying the Chariot. What they have in common is control. The outcome could be controling emotions. It depends on whether or not someone likes that. I personally don't like romantic feelings very much. I am much more content when I am in a relationship that is calm and grounded. Are these two super romantic? If they are, then this combo could indicate a breakup, but if the are not romantic, but rather earthy and grounded, then this is a strong combination and a good relationship.

Chariot can indicate aggression, but the 7 of Cups reversed does not. So I wouldn't think aggression from this pairing.

7 of Cups can indicate falling in love quickly. You know that whirlwind feeling that makes you feel like your drunk on love? Reverse this and we see someone who doesn't have whirlwind feelings. This can be a good thing. Sometimes when the rush of love wears off, we are left with the real everyday aspects of a relationship.

Chariot = purest Yang, so the drive toward victory, the need to win, grasping for something specific (as opposed to, let's say, a holistic observing of the wider "organic" context).

7 of Cups Rx = Yang in the kingdom of Water. Imagine a Chariot trying to cross through water -- there's no focus, no traction, it's overwhelming and it bogs down. There's of course a sense of "something false or illusory" and (depending on how you read reversals) the Rx can imply "intensified," delayed, obscured, subconscious.

Just very generally, Yang is not overly auspicious for relationships because it's competitive and focused, i.e., "zero sum" (someone gains while someone loses, so to speak). Also very generally, Yin is a bit more auspicious simply because it blends, receives, observes and responds, taking its time.

But those are generalities.
