Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this tarot card.

1Does Seven of Cups and The Hierophant indicate a new person entering your life?

Both address Seven of Cups' many options, but through different gates. The Lovers demands values alignment — choosing the partnership your heart consciously commits to among competing attractions. The Hierophant demands sacred discernment — choosing the one path tradition and faith would actually bless. Values choice versus spiritual consecration of a single path.
