Eight of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

Eight of Cups Upright Meaning

Upright, the Eight of Cups shows that you might feel disillusioned and disappointed with life. You have experienced many successes but they didn’t make you feel as you thought they would. Perhaps the relationship/friendship you are in has left you feeling empty, despite it looking fruitful from the outside. Perhaps you are fed up and want a new challenge. Emotions run high and making decisions at this time might not work out as anticipated. Don’t do anything you might regret. Try and wait until a time when you feel calmer. Try to see how you truly feel. It is normal for relationships to go through highs and lows, like the tide coming in and out. It is important that we are open with our partners and if you feel disillusioned, try to talk about it with them in a calm way. Confronting your emotions, rather than running away from them, can make all the difference and might get you both back on the right track.
