Eight of Cups ∪

What the card shows

A figure leaves eight stacked cups and walks towards the mountains. The card speaks of moving on from something that no longer satisfies, in search of deeper meaning.

It can be useful to leave something that no longer feels meaningful, thoughtfully and without haste.

The suit of Cups

Cups belong to water. They hold feeling, relationships, intuition and imagination. Cups cards ask what moves you and how you care for yourself and others.
