Seven of Cups
The Seven of Cups evokes the aphotic zone a thousand meters below the ocean where bioluminescent lights create uncertainty and mystery. It symbolizes illusions, imagination, wishful thinking, fantasy, and a proliferation of choices that can mislead. You are urged to choose wisely, discerning which options will truly benefit you and which are deceptive or distracting. Avoid becoming so absorbed in dreams or temptation that you lose touch with reality and fall into confusion or diversion.

Meaning
1,000 meters below the ocean's surface lies the aphotic zone - also known as the midnight zone. No sunlight reaches here, and many of its creatures rely on bioluminescence for light. In this pitch blackness, things are uncertain - is that light in the distance prey, or predator? You may be faced with a lot of choices before you, but be wise in choosing which will benefit you, and which won't. Do not get so caught up in your dreams that you start to ignore reality.

Visual Description
Seven gilded cups float against a deep, starless dark background. Inside and around the cups are translucent, bioluminescent shapes—jellyfish, feathery forms and other watery apparitions—that glow in pale blues. The cups are arranged in staggered rows with empty space between them, each suggesting a separate image or possibility. Small flecks of light and faint trails connect some of the apparitions, creating a sense of shifting, dreamlike motion.
