Seven of Cups

Brief Description

This card warns that idealism and fantasy are clouding your judgment, preventing an unbiased view of the situation.

Meaning

Your idealism prevents you from having an unbiased look at the situation, and it confuses you. Do not stay locked up in your fantasies; stop trying to have more and deluding yourself about your capabilities and the consequences of your actions. A realistic approach will get you out of this fog and you will stop running in circles.

Visual Description

A small, round white ghost stands in front of a glass-fronted vending-machine-like cabinet that floats among pastel clouds. Inside the cabinet seven golden cups sit on shelves, each containing a different tiny object — a castle, a snake's head, a wreath or jewels, small plants, a veiled face or globe, a skull, and a cluster of little hearts. The ghost reaches toward one of the lower cups while a colorful cobblestone path winds beneath the clouds. Soft clouds frame the scene and the numeral '7' with Cyrillic lettering appears in the lower corner.
