Seven of Cups

"Seven cups float among clouds, each with its temptation: so many options that none is yet real."

Upright meaning

The Seven of Cups is the mirage of abundance. Before the figure rise seven cups holding treasures, faces, crowns — and serpents too: desires, fantasies and traps all mixed together. It is the moment to daydream, but also the risk of getting lost among possibilities without making any of them real.

Reversed meaning

Reversed, the fog lifts. Clarity comes to tell true desire from smoke, and one cup is chosen among the seven. The dream lands in a decision.

In love

Idealization or too many options that confuse. Come down to earth: fall for who someone is, not who you imagine them to be.

In work and money

Many projects in the air and little definition. Pick one and shape it; scattered effort yields nothing.

The card's advice

Dream all you like, but choose a cup: fantasy without a choice evaporates.
