☀️ Upright Meaning
Seven cups float on clouds — many tempting options, but you must find what is real.
🌙 Reversed Meaning
You wake from fantasy and make grounded choices. Clarity is returning.
💞 In Love
Easy to fall for the fantasy of an ideal type. See the actual person before you, not the imagined one.
💼 In Career
Too many options paralyze the decision. Set one criterion and six cups erase themselves.
💰 In Money
Sweet investment temptations float by like clouds. The cup labeled 'everyone gets rich' contains a snake.
🏛️ A Memory of the 15th Century
Seven cups on clouds hold a castle, jewels, a laurel, a dragon — a re-staging of the devil's 'all the kingdoms of the world' from medieval tales. A catalogue of temptations, one scene from a Renaissance morality play.
