8 of Cups
Eight of Cups
Upright
walking away · disillusionment · deeper search · abandonment · retreat
Under an eclipse, a figure walks away from eight carefully stacked cups. Something that looked like enough has been honestly evaluated and found incomplete. This departure is a hard-won choice, not a failure. What you are seeking cannot be found here.
Reversed
staying · fear of commitment · avoiding necessary departure
Leaving is being avoided out of fear, attachment, or a sense of obligation. Alternatively, you are abandoning something prematurely, before it has had time to deliver what it promised. Discern whether you are being called away — or running.
