Seven of Cups

Suit of Cups · water

The Seven of Cups reveals the seductive sprawl of possibility and the haze of wishful thinking. Many options shimmer, but not all are real or good for you. Reflect on which longings are substance and which are smoke, and where imagination needs the discipline of choice.

The image

A silhouetted figure faces seven cups floating in the clouds, each holding a different vision — a head, a shrouded figure, a snake, a castle, jewels, a wreath, and a dragon. Desire and danger are mingled among the dreams.
