Death and Seven of Cups

Death with the last Scorpio decan. The Seven of Cups is seven visions in the clouds, none chosen and not all real. The tradition reads the pair as the fantasies that grow around an ending: what might have happened, what could still, and the versions of a person that were never accurate.

Associated with an idealised account of something that has ended. Read as a natural stage and as an unreliable one.

Imagining alternatives to a closure that is already complete. Frequently read where somebody is negotiating with a settled fact.

Death is the card in this pair that is telling the truth. Whatever the Seven is offering, the pair suggests checking it against what actually occurred.
