Seven of Cups
The Seven of Cups shows a figure faced with seven cups, each containing a different image (a bust of a woman, a shrouded figure, a cobra, a castle, golden riches, a green laurel, and a small dragon), symbolizing a range of fantasies and choices. It highlights illusionary success and the danger of being tempted by deceptive or unrealistic options. Upright, the card encourages aligning desires, making impactful choices, and distinguishing realistic dreams from fanciful ones. Reversed, it urges logical decision-making, staying grounded, and recognizing when dreams are not fully realized.

Visual Description
A robed figure seen from behind stands in the lower foreground, looking up into a cloud bank where seven ornate cups hover. Each cup holds a distinct object: a woman’s head, a shrouded robed figure with raised arms, a snake, a castle or tower, a pile of jewels, a laurel wreath, and a dragon; the Roman numeral VII appears in a bright circle above. At the bottom is a parchment-like scroll with Cyrillic text reading "Иллюзорный успех" and small glyphs or astrological symbols beside it.
