Seven of Cups

KeywordsMany choices, fantasy, temptation, confusion

The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through

Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.

The picture

A silhouette faces seven cups of visions in the clouds

Bright face

Choices in plenty; imagination rich

Shadow

Fantasy that cannot pick; glamour in the eyes

Way through

Seven cups, two hands — lift one and the rest turn to mist

As your card of the day

If Seven of Cups is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Choices in plenty; imagination rich”. When it tips toward “Fantasy that cannot pick; glamour in the eyes”, remember the way the picture draws: Seven cups, two hands — lift one and the rest turn to mist.

Auspira is for entertainment and self-reflection. The cards are a mirror that shows the present from another angle; they do not predict the future and are no substitute for medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice.
