Seven of Cups
.
From a sad confession of yet another Anonymous Maniacs Association gathering:
– … And when the third clip was empty, I suddenly decided to become nice.
Because I finally realized, to my great horror: there aren't enough bullets for everyone!
.
"Sevens", according to the Kabbalah, represent harmony, harmonization, eliminating everything that's unnecessary.
Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.
Accordingly, the Seven of Cups is the harmonization of feelings, getting rid of "unnecessary" "wrong" emotions, the cleansing of negative feelings, emotions, memories.
For example, it may symbolize a confession, repentance, a psychotherapy session, a heart-to-heart chat with a friend, a shower (as a cleansing of negative physical states).
.

.
The defining feature of the Seven of Cups – getting rid of "unnecessary" emotional baggage.
.
The Seven of Cups (getting rid of "wrong" emotions) is closely related to a reversed Ten of Cups (regret, remorse, "negative" transformation of feelings). Often, in fact, they are mutually interconnected. Therefore, it's easy to confuse a Seven of Cups with a reversed Ten of Cups.
But these are different cards. Both in terms of sign as well as numerical value. To distinguish between them, you should always look at the sign of the card.
Regret, remorse, guilt, shame are, first and foremost, a "reversed", "negative" numerical value. And only after that does the actual cause of the psychic transformation (that is, the Ten) follow.
.
Fig. 2.7.9 Reversed Ten of Cups. Regret, remorse, guilt. A paralyzed psyche.217
.
Eight of Cups
.
– Way to go, Masha! I'm really impressed! Now, that's loyalty! Married four times, but you've still got the same lover!
.
"Eights", according to the Kabbalah, are form + form, stability, constancy.
Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.
Thus, the Eight of Cups represents something stable, resilient, and constant, a formation of emotions, feelings, and memories.
It may symbolize stable feelings, emotions, memories. Such as, for instance: confidence, equanimity, loyalty, tranquility.
In the sphere of memories and remembering, the Eight of Cups may be a stable, enduring memory. Such as, for instance, your ability to recall your own name and place of residence.
.
Fig. 2.8.1 Eight of Cups – stability, reliability, constancy. Fidelity in marriage. An elderly married couple.218
.
Fig. 2.8.2 Eight of Cups – stable and reliable feelings. Confidence, composure, resolve.219
.
Fig. 2.8.3 Eight of Cups – stability, resilience, constancy of feelings. Joie de vivre, faith in the future.220
.
Fig. 2.8.4 Eight of Cups – stability, reliability, constancy of feelings. Confidence. Self-confidence.221
.
Fig. 2.8.5 Eight of Cups – stability, reliability, a formation of emotions and feelings. Confidence. Equanimity.222
.
Fig. 2.8.6 Eight of Cups – stability, resilience of emotions and feelings. Confidence in your own strength. Composure.223
.
Fig. 2.8.7 Eight of Cups – stability, reliability, constancy of emotions and feelings. The dog has faith in its master and waits patiently.224
.
Fig. 2.8.8 Eight of Cups – stability, resilience, constancy, a formation of emotions, feelings, memories. Meditation. Yoga.225
.
The distinguishing feature of the Eight of Cups is stability of feelings, emotions, and memories. Obviously, in a positive sense.
.
One of the most striking examples of the Eight of Cups is the story of the Japanese dog named Hachikō. Please note that the dog's name is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the number "8".226
.
Nine of Cups
.
A female nymphomaniac comes to the police:
– Some problems? Registering a complaint?
– You see, the thing is… I really enjoy having sex. The ecstasy is absolutely indescribable. The passionate rapture that comes over me during sex just drives me out of my mind. A raging hurricane of bliss goes off inside me like a bomb, transforming into a wild orgasm. And then time comes to a standstill, I forget myself, and just go berserk until I'm hoarse…
I have up to 10 orgasms a night.
– Hmmm…That's really something! Well, probably you need to see a doctor. So, why did you come to the police?
– You see, the thing is – my neighbors want to kill me.
.
"Nines", according to the Kabbalah, are the last, final step before the Ten (transformation, transition to a new level). This moment determines the meaning of the "Nine".
Accordingly, "Nines" are completeness, perfection, mastery, a certain ideal (for your level or class).
Cups (Hearts) are emotions, feelings, memories.
The Nine of Cups, therefore, is completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions, memories.
For example, any positive feeling or emotion manifested to an extreme: delight, ecstasy, rapture, adoration, etc.
Fig. 2.9.1 Nine of Cups – perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. Absolute happiness.227
.
Fig. 2.9.2 Nine of Cups – perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. Feeling so high, you could fly.228
.
Fig. 2.9.3 Nine of Cups – completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions. At one with Nirvana. Religious ecstasy.229
.
Fig. 2.9.4 Nine of Cups – completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. Delight. "Bursting with joy."230
.
Fig. 2.9.5 Nine of Cups – completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. "Soaring with happiness". "Jumping with delight".231
.
Fig. 2.9.6 Nine of Cups – completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. "To die of happiness." It's sooooooo great being a cat! What a life!
.
Fig. 2.9.7 Nine of Cups – exaggeration, taking feelings, emotions to an extreme ("to the max"). A comedian, buffoon, clown. Charlie Chaplin, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Anna Faris, Mike Myers, Danny DeVito, Johnny Depp and others.232
.
Fig. 2.9.8 Nine of Cups – completeness, perfection of feelings, emotions, memories. Virtuoso actors. Masters of conveying their emotions and feelings to the camera, the microphone. Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, Will Smith, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.233
.
The distinctive feature of the Nine of Cups is its extreme degree of manifestation.
.
Moreover, due to the intensity of its manifestation, the Nine of Cups often triggers the manifestation of the One or the Five of Cups. Just like lightning in the sky provokes a clap of thunder and a fire. Although one accompanies the other – these are different events and cards.
.
With regard to memories, the Nine of Cups resembles a certain, often illusory, ideal of perception.
.
For instance, certain lines from A.S. Pushkin's poem "I remember a wonderful moment …" 234vividly illustrate the Nine of Cups.
.
Ten of Cups
.
The wife goes off on a business trip. The husband and cat stay at home.
Day One:
The cat goes up to its feed bowl:
– Yuuuuuuuck… buckwheat…
It snorts and refuses to eat.
Comes up the day next:
– Yuck-yuck-yuck… yesterday's buckwheat…
Jerks its tail indignantly and leaves.
On the third day:
– Yum! Buckwheat!!!
And quickly devours everything without a trace.
.
"Tens", according to the Kabbalah, are transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state.
Cups (Hearts) are emotions, feelings, memories.
So, the Ten of Cups is a transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state of feelings, emotions, memories.
For example, this corresponds to expressions such as "to be reborn", "to become a different person", "spiritual rebirth".
.
Fig. 2.10.1 Ten of Cups – transformation, metamorphosis, transition of perception into a new state. Meditation, yoga, prayer as a process of spiritual transformation. 235
.
Fig. 2.10.2 Ten of Cups – transformation, metamorphosis, transition of perception into a new state. Prayer. "To be born in the spirit".236

"… small and insignificant" – the thing is, the human consciousness and sense organs don't distinguish between the Absolute Kabbalistic Zero and closely related manifestations. Although these two are by no means the same, this guide also examines practical aspects and examples of the "zero" card.

As you've probably guessed, here and hereafter, the first number in the figure refers to the suit. The second number indicates the card's numerical value in the deck. The third number – the example number for that particular card.
