Strictly speaking tarot does not answer yes-or-no questions well — it answers "what is actually going on here". That said, most cards lean, and the lean is what people are usually asking about.
The Seven of Cups depicts a figure gazing at seven floating cups, each containing different symbols of fantasy, wealth, and illusion. This card represents a flood of possibilities, dreams, and choices that may overwhelm your ability to act decisively. It warns that many options can lead to confusion, daydreaming, and escapist thinking.

Read upright, this is the version of the card you can act on directly.
Reversed, the Seven of Cups signals clarity emerging from confusion as you begin to distinguish genuine opportunities from mere fantasies. The fog of illusion lifts, allowing you to make grounded decisions and focus on what is realistically achievable.

Cards lean rather than answer. Upright, Seven Of Cups leans toward the quality it names being available; reversed, that quality is obstructed. Read both with the rest of the spread.
No. Reversed usually means the energy is internal, delayed or blocked — not the opposite of the upright meaning.
A great deal. Single-card readings are a starting point; neighbouring cards decide how this one actually reads.
