EIGHT OF CUPS

The empty space among eight cups signifies the missing ninth cup. A fledgling eagle looks determinedly into the distance, with a small moon in the sky hinting at emotional unrest and inner loneliness. The crescent moon with a full moon inside symbolizes the phases of waxing and waning, also meaning that this search needs enough time to accumulate. The upright cups represent current or past joys, and the eaglet prepares to leave its current state to find the missing ninth chalice, achieving the satisfaction of Nine and Ten of Cups. The eagle, spreading its wings to soar, gains a broader perspective, closely related to The Hermit card.
