Seven of Cups

Many choices and dreams. Choose what's real and truly yours.

choices · imagination · wishful thinking

A figure looks up at seven cups floating in a morning mist, each holding something different: a castle, jewels, a wreath, a mysterious veiled figure. All look tempting.

The Seven of Cups is about choices, imagination and wishful thinking. You have many options, but not all of them are real or right for you. It's a time to dream freely, and then choose carefully.

The light

The Seven of Cups opens your imagination. It shows how many possibilities you have.

The lesson

Too many options can freeze you. Separate dreams from plans, and choose one to make real.
