Upright Meaning
Be careful what you wish for! Many prizes are presented to you, some of which may not be in your best interest. You are projecting your dreams on to reality, creating illusions that seem way too good to be true. Too many options can be confusing, and you find yourself constantly living in a state of FOMO (fear of missing out) for fear of making the wrong choice. Each cup offers you a different prize representing areas of your life, each filled with a wish, however it does not promise a positive result. Be clear on what your long-term visions are, so that whichever cup you choose brings you closer to your goals. Temptation is calling, offering vices that are hard to ignore. These choices, however, can come with long-term consequences, so weigh your pros and cons if you choose to indulge.
Reversed Meaning
While it’s amazing to use your imagination, right now you are teetering on delusion and pure fantasy. The real world can feel overwhelming at times, feeling safer to escape into your dreams. Grand visions seem like they’re within your grasp, only to be whisked away to reveal the cold hard facts. Learn to decipher the difference between illusions and projected realities. It’s time to get your head out of the clouds and back to planet Earth! Bring your dreams into reality by taking concrete action. Having your hands in too many cups can leave you overcommitted and unfulfilled. Instead of trying to do everything, what areas of your life would you like to focus on? Cut through the confusion with laser focus. Remember to set intentions to gain clarity and to ground yourself along the way.
