Seven of Cups upright

Seven cups float among the clouds, and each one holds something different: jewels, a castle, a snake, a veiled figure. The Seven of Cups speaks of many possibilities and an overflowing imagination. It's the card of dreams and desires, and also of mirages. You have several tempting options in front of you, but not all of them are what they seem. It asks you to tell the difference between what you truly want and what merely glitters, and to bring your dreams down to earth with a real step.

Seven of Cups reversed

Reversed, the Seven brings clarity after confusion. The fantasies fade and you can see honestly what's good for you. It's a good time to choose. Sometimes it also warns that you're afraid to decide because you don't want to give anything up. Choosing one path opens doors too.

The suit of Cups

The suit of water: the world of emotions. The Cups speak of love in all its forms, of friendship, of intuition and of what you feel, even if you don't say it.
