Keywords
Contemplation
Seated in quiet contemplation, a seeker gathers a vessel of light close to her heart. This represents her emotional depths and reserves, which are meant to fill the cups around her. Although she is surrounded by these other vessels of abundance, she is not aware of how to replenish and fulfill them. As she tightens her grip, she is avoiding the release of what she holds within.

Eight of Cups
Life is an ongoing journey filled with continuous peaks and valleys. This can be a blissful adventure for those of us who are ready to dive in; for others, momentum and change can be difficult to grasp, when comfort and stability have built a safety net around us. There may be times when we reach challenging crossroads along the way, and with reluctance, we must leave something behind in order to move on. This can feel gut-wrenching, as it is only natural to want to hold on and tighten our grip, but shedding the burdens of our past often initiates deep evolution. We may then feel free to seek unmarked roads and new foundations - places within and around us that we never knew existed. This is a new chapter waiting to be written. Where would you like to go from here?
Reversed

What do you need to change in order to move forward with clarity and peace? It may be helpful to face your fears and give yourself the benefit of the doubt, with love. A time of transformation.
