I think this is the only Minor Arcana card (apart from the courts) that depicts a mythical being and not a human.
Against a blue background we see a mermaid.
She is surrounded by golden cups and has her arms raise so as to encompass the 4 uppermost cups. She seems to be holding 2 of them.
She almost looks as if she is about to scoop up the 4 cups - she's spoiled for choice.
I'm thinking that the mermaid links this card to the realms of fantasy and that's why she is there instead of a human being.
The sevens to me are about overcoming obstacles. They relate to The Chariot and to me they often speak of turning the obstacles we come across into stepping stones.
The sevens are also very magical numbers and are about looking within and testing ourselves - initiation if you like.
So here we have an emotional challenge and the challenge seems to involve a choice.
The challenge seems to me to be to keep things real and not get lost in the land of fantasy.
This card is also about looking within, to see how you really feel and so discover what you really want out of something.
I have had this card show up in readings before as a card of advice and I have taken the image quite literally and advised the person I was reading for to visualise what they want, as if it has already happened (a little bit of magic here).
I like the fact that there is a mermaid on this card as mermaids are very magical creatures so that re-enforces that meaning for me.
