Eight of Cups
Should you leave or stay? The choice is yours. You know it is time to leave, yet memories and the past will try to pull you back, though that is all they can do.
This is an emotion or feeling you must face. Only by addressing it directly can you free yourself. The hand that holds you wants a reason or explanation for your departure, while the hand trying to break free wants to escape and seek new possibilities. When walking toward a new path, regret and pain often arise from memories of the past. Whether you are the active or passive party, this signals an ending.
UPRIGHT
Tired, leaving, difficult to move on, moving forward, entangled, matters that must be resolved, regret, learning to let go, ending.
REVERSED
