Eight of Cups
A small kittycorn leaves behind eight golden cups, symbolizing a deliberate turning away from emotional emptiness toward a quieter, more meaningful quest. Upright, the card represents brave, gentle departure and the courage to grieve honestly while seeking deeper truth and self-care. Reversed, it warns of hesitation, circling back to old comforts, or fleeing without processing feelings, highlighting the need for emotional honesty. Ultimately the image asks you to honor what you abandon, carry forward the lessons, and trust the soft instinct to go while being gentle with yourself if you must pause.
