Upright
Many dazzling options compete for you, and some look better than they really are.
Reversed
The clouds lift, showing which cups are empty and which are worth reaching for.
In love
Someone may look perfect only because real time together hasn't tested them yet.
In work and money
Splitting focus across appealing projects keeps any one from moving; question promises of fast money.
Symbols in the image
Seven cups on a cloud Tempting options with nothing solid beneath them yet, so none can be held.
The shrouded glowing figure A hidden truth, maybe awakening, maybe self-deception, that can't be judged on looks.
The question this card asks
Which of these options would I still want after counting its real cost?
