Classic American cartomancy:Thought, imagination
Seven of Hearts—Upright.
When this card emerges in its natural position, its primary signification is that of thought, an arm, or a jewel.
As thought, it has many secondary significations prominent among them those expressed by the synonyms:
The soul; spirit; intelligence; an idea; memory; imagination; conception; comprehension; extension of ideas; designs; intentions; desires; will; resolution; determination; premeditation; meditation; reflection; opinion; sentiment; philosopher; philosophy; wisdom.
This card is sometimes employed to signify solitude, when it obtains a secondary signification:
A desert; seclusion; retreat from society; hermitage; exile; banishment; isolation; abandonment.
Seven of Hearts—Reversed.
When this card comes out reversed, one of its primary significations is a package, or bundle, present, new clothes, etc., in accordance with the signification of the cards immediately preceding or following it, which can be easily learned by study.
Nevertheless, its most ordinary signification is desire, or a strong longing for, or hankering after, some person or thing; but then again the interpretation is qualified by the cards coming near this one, either before or after; reading from the consultant to the right, by a simple change in position of the cards, desire may be changed into aversion, and an attraction into repulsion.
When its signification is desire, its synonyms will be:
Wish; now; will; coveting; cupidity; lusting after; concupiscence; unlawful desire; extreme hankering after; jealous; passion for good or bad; illusion; craving; appetite; a fancy for a thing; decided inclination.
It will be seen that the term desire is employed as antagonistic to love, or a holy and righteous phase of passion.
