The Journey Into the Unknown
The person on the Eight of Cups card leaves everything behind. He peers into the misty haze, not understanding where this path will lead him, but realizing that there will be something better than here and now. He leans on the Cups, stacked one upon another, seeking support and foundation; the character relies on his emotions and intuition, allowing them to guide him toward a favorable outcome. With a heavy sigh, the hero sets off into the unknown.
When Life's Foundations Crumble
As the Tower card shows, sometimes life can present a sudden unpleasant surprise. You suddenly realize that something that has long been very important to you and occupied the main place in your life is essentially meaningless. Walls come crashing down and confusion, like poisonous vapors, penetrates reality, replacing structure and probability with chaos and uncertainty.
The Only Solution
The only solution is to leave everything behind. Time will come and the fog will part, revealing to the eye a clear night sky, studded with twinkling stars.
Visual Description
A lone figure is seen from behind walking away into a sky of swirling red and orange ribbon-like clouds that fill most of the card. The person's lower legs and one arm are visible; a chain hangs from the hand and the figure is surrounded by small white dots and star-like specks against a black background. At the bottom a stylized title reads "EIGHT of CHALICES."
