Today I’m exploring the Psychology of the VII of Cups and how it relates to projection. This is the first installment in a new series where I reflect on a tarot card and connect it to a key psychological concept and its archetypal aspects. The series is a reimagining and a Jungian reinterpretation of these dynamics as a pathway into the psyche, with insights that can be applied to inner work and your reading practice. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the format and any requests you have for a future episode!

In this episode I cover:

* The classic definition and interpretations of the VII of Cups

* Quotes from A.E. Waite, Rachel Pollack, C.G. Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz

* How the VII of Cups connects to projection and the challenge of discernment

* A Jungian perspective on working with and withdrawing projections

* The VII of Cups as a call to engage with, rather than turn away from, fantasy, illusion and images

* Example readings and approaches to interpreting the card in a psychological context

Join the conversation

How do you navigate working with projections? Does the imagery of the VII of Cups remind you of another psychological concept? How do you typically read the card?
