Eight of Cups

Eight cups stand in two rows on a riverbank; a cloaked figure walks away into the mountains under a moon. The Eight of Cups is the quiet departure — leaving something that worked but no longer feeds you. The card honours the courage of leaving without burning anything down.

Hesitation at the threshold; or the leaving being internal, not external.

Past: a leaving that you may still be processing. Present: it is time to go. Future: a chapter ends so the next can begin. In relationships: a quiet, necessary parting. As a yes/no: yes — to walk away.
