The eight of cups stands for the times in your life when we have to move on and forge ahead with grit and determination. Sometimes, moving on means searching for truth and knowing the hidden meaning that a particular event had in your life. The event that changed the course of your life had been planned for a higher motive than meets the eye.

We may sometimes be woken up with a jolt to realize that we have been living a dream that no longer satisfies our true purpose. It is high time now to re-check your priorities and start life afresh and move upwards in life with a fresh start altogether.

Clinging on to the situation will not help, it's just the time to let go and move on. The sooner you realize this, the faster and easier it will be for you to embrace change.

When the tarot eight of cups appears reversed in a reading, it signifies stagnation, in terms of not being able to cope with the changes and feeling your self bound by dormant forces that don't let you move forward. Do not give in to these obstacles and find your path ahead.
