Having a bucket list or a vision board is always great. It motivates you to keep striving for your dreams. However, overwhelming yourself with all at once can create inner chaos. The Seven of Cups slides in your reading to remind you to take one thing at a time.   

The black figure on the card symbolizes chaos and inner conflict. The person has set their eyes on too many things at once, destroying their focus and vision.

Energy flows where it is required the most, and that is the science of energy healing. Your dreams are interconnected. Therefore, there is never a need to chase too many dreams at once. Start prioritizing, and the rest will follow.  

It is very natural for the Seven of Cups to show up when you are disturbed inside.
