Seven of Cups
The Seven of Cups points to desire, fantasy, temptation, and illusion, where many alluring options may be shallow or unattainable. It emphasizes dreaming and wishful thinking while warning of failure to recognize reality and the need for a more practical plan. Reversed, it can indicate shattered illusions, a new realistic outlook, an unfulfilling wish, or an abandoned dream, and may warn of losses from poor ventures. Magickally, the card is used to invoke fantasy, heighten passion, and assist in manifesting dreams, but discernment is required to turn visions into actionable goals.

Visual Description
Seven gleaming silver cups hover above a misty pool, arranged in two staggered rows. Above each cup float glowing astrological or alchemical glyphs, and a golden triangular emblem inside a square hangs near the top of the sky; a crescent moon and scattered stars are visible in the background. The banks are grassy and flowered, and a small turtle sits at the water’s edge on the lower right. Pale mist drifts across the surface of the pool, softening the reflections of the cups and symbols.
