Seven of Cups upright

Cups appear in clouds - a head, a wreath, a snake, a castle, jewels, a dragon, a shrouded figure. Possibilities, fantasies, projections.

Pick. The Seven of Cups stalls people in the possibility space; the work is choosing one and starting, even imperfectly.

Seven of Cups reversed

Reversed, the fog is clearing - you're starting to see which of the cups is real and which is a daydream.
