Symbolism
A figure stands in shadow before seven cups floating in the clouds, each holding a different vision: a castle, jewels, a laurel wreath, a dragon, a snake, a glowing veiled figure, and a head. Some are prizes, some are traps. The card is about dreams, options, and illusions that are hard to tell apart.
✦ A word from Seven of Cups: Dream freely, then pick one thing to make real.
Seven of Cups · Upright meaning
