Seven of Cups
water
not all of them are real. choose with your eyes open.
upright — what she sees
not all of them are real. choose with your eyes open. drawn upright, seven of cups speaks of choices, illusion, the seven cups. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — the seven cups made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the fog lifts. the cup was there the whole time. reversed, the card turns inward — clarity, decisiveness. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, seven of cups is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
