What does the Number 7 figure tell you?
A clear seven near the rim suggests something within a week; one deeper in the cup, a longer cycle. Readers treat it as a playful hint about timing rather than a fixed date.
A question to sit with: Choose one thing you could complete or begin within the next seven days.
