Cups cards in the tarot deck are symbolized by the element Water and rule the zodiac signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. In classic Rider Waite Smith tarot decks, the Seven of Cups shows a black man looking at a large gray cloud. On the cloud are seven cups containing various fabulous symbols: A woman's head, a figure of Jesus, a snake, a castle, jewels, a laurel wreath and a monster. The man is confused and overwhelmed by the various options before him. And that is exactly what the card symbolizes: Illusions and confusion.
