A silhouetted figure gazes at seven cups floating in clouds, each holding a vision: treasure, a serpent, a tower, a wreath of laurels. The Seven of Cups reflects abundant choices, rich imagination, and the seduction of options untested against reality.
Reflection
May point toward a moment of too many possibilities and feelings that blur together. Which one vision, if actually chosen, would be worth trading the dream of all the rest?
Relationships
Can invite honesty about idealizing people or possibilities you have not yet tested.
Career

Growth
Often asks what truly grounds your choices: wishful thinking, or what you want.
