Minor Arcana - Cups

A figure gazes up at seven cups floating in clouds, each containing a different vision — a castle, jewels, a wreath, a dragon, treasure, a glowing figure, and a serpent.

▲ Upright Meaning

Fantasy, imagination, and multiple possibilities spread before you like a dream. Discernment is needed — not every glittering option is real or worth pursuing.

▼ Reversed Meaning

Gaining clarity, making a choice, or returning to reality after a period of fantasy brings grounding. Illusions are clearing and you can now see which option is truly viable.
