7 of Cups

7 of Cups

The 7 of Cups shows a figure silhouetted against clouds, looking at seven cups floating in the air. Each cup holds something different: jewels, a castle, a snake, a dragon. This is the card of choices and illusions.

It represents wishful thinking. You have many options, but not all of them are real. Some are dangerous temptations; others are glittering prizes.

It asks you to get your head out of the clouds. You can't have it all. You have to choose *one*. Stop dreaming and start doing.
