Card 8
Eight of Cups
Description
A cloaked figure walks toward dark mountains, away from eight stacked cups. Moon above. The cups are arranged with a gap. Something missing in what was built. The Eight of Cups is the moment you decide the life you assembled isn't the one you want.

Upright Meanings
You're leaving something. A job, a relationship, a version of how you've been spending your time. It looked fine from outside. From inside, something is missing. The card says go. Search, even if you don't know what you're searching for yet.
Reversed Meanings
You know it's over. You're still here. Could be one more try, could be drifting because deciding feels worse than waiting. Both can be true at once. The question isn't whether to leave. It's why you haven't.
