Upright Meaning
This is a time when there are so many choices that you may struggle to choose at all. Imagination becomes rich, but you must tell whether what is inside each cup is real or only foam.
- Love: A fantasy of the ideal partner, or wandering among several attractions. Look at the real person in front of you, not the person in your imagination.
- Work & Money: Too many ideas, seven plans and no decision. The sweeter a financial offer sounds, the more carefully you need to verify its substance.
Reversed Meaning
The fog clears, and the moment comes to choose one thing. You wake from fantasy and become able to make a realistic decision.
