A silhouette gazes at seven cups floating in clouds, each containing a different vision. Which is real? Which is worth pursuing?

Fantasy, illusion, wishful thinking, choices, imagination, daydreaming.

Reversed Meaning

Alignment, clarity, becoming sober, making choices, reality check.

Symbolism

Seven cups suspended in cloud each hold a different vision: castle, jewels, laurel, dragon, serpent, shrouded figure, radiant light. The gazing silhouette casts no shadow — in fantasy, we ourselves become unclear. All are real. None are chosen.
