The Eight of Cups is a card that represents transition, change, and walking away from something. In order to improve in any aspect of our lives, we must go through a transition period. Receiving this card in a reading can suggest that you may be tired of your daily routine, and/or are not satisfied with where you are in life right now. You're seeking a greater experience - something that will fulfill you on a deeper level. You are coming to realize that you must move away from what is familiar and comfortable for you in order to get what you want. Take this as a sign to make take that step. You will not regret it.
Card in Reverse:
You may be feeling unsure of what direction you want to take at this time. Feeling like you don't know what is best for you is making you feel confused and overwhelmed. You may be feeling lost and anxious. Another meaning this card brings in reverse is: you may know deep down what is best for you, but you are stuck. Something that once brought you joy and comfort, no longer fulfills you. You know what you need to do, but you find yourself staying. The thought of leaving that security - even though it no longer brings you joy - is very scary to you. You are afraid of change and of losing something that once gave you comfort. Take this card as a sign that it is safe to leave that comfort. It may be uncomfortable and scary at first, but it will lead you to a comfort that is even more fulfilling to you than the previous.
