Six of Cups

One dictates:
A slender, beautiful blonde would like
OK, got it, next?
To meet a very wealthy elderly German
Got it. And?
And get married
Got it. And?
That's it, attach my photo and send it off.

The other one whispers softly, under her breath:
And what better way to avenge your grandfather!199

"Sixes", according to the Kabbalah, are the system (3) + the system (3). That is, the interchange, interpenetration, circulation, interaction of systems.
Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.
Thus, the Six of Cups is the mutual exchange, interpenetration, circulation of emotions and feelings according to some system.
For example, it may symbolize opera as the interaction of a musical system (the orchestra) and a theatrical system (the singers) on an emotional level.

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.
