Seven of Cups
A silhouetted figure faces seven cups floating on a cloud, each holding a different prize — a castle, jewels, a laurel wreath, a dragon, a shrouded glowing figure, a head, a serpent. Wonders and hazards, all equally shiny.
★ Upright
The Seven of Cups is the paralysis of too many options, half of them mirages. Upright, it marks a season of big dreams and foggy priorities — wonderful for brainstorming, terrible for commitment. The card's discipline: pick one cup, test it against reality, and let the cloud keep the rest.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the fog lifts and choosing becomes possible: clarity, decision, illusions dissolving on contact with facts. It can also show a person retreating back into daydreams because the real cup demands real work. Choose anyway.
