The Seven of Cups in an upright position says that your imagination is very active at the moment, and you are building various scenarios in it that make it difficult for you to make one particular decision. If this card is about you, you most likely don't know what you are feeling or your feelings are platonic. The Seven of Cups is primarily a card of emotions, but these can be as varied as the images that emerge from each cup. However, don't try to follow a logical assessment of reality, because it may turn out to be wrong and illusory. When the Seven of Cups is in an upright position, it's a sign that the power of dreams and affirmations can be helpful in solving your current problems. The Seven of Cups is the card that best represents the state of alcohol intoxication, where it's difficult for us to control our actions but it allows us to experience other psycho-emotional states.

However, the upright Seven of Cups bodes less well for material matters because it is very difficult for the person shown on this card to come down to earth.

The last two cups represent victory in the form of a laurel wreath (below is a skull) and the symbol of strength and war, the dragon. At the very bottom we see a castle, which in the Tarot signifies power and protection, and right next to them jewels that speak of wealth and the soul of man. In the third cup, the serpent refers to the energy of sexuality and desire. The inside of the next cup is covered, but there is a figure underneath that emanates red rays and alludes to our hidden ego. The first Cup shows a human head symbolizing beauty and spiritual life. There are seven of them in total on the card, and from each of them emerges a different image that symbolizes the difficulty you have in making a decision. Heightened creativity, innovative thinking, active imagination, storytelling, losing oneself in daydreams or lofty visions, a flash of insight, idealizing people or situations, living in the "what if," feeling detached from one's identity.The seventh card in the Suit of Cups in Tarot is called Seven of Cups and it depicts a black human figure who is gazing at the Cups suspended in the clouds in front of her.
