The Eight of Cups is a card of abandonment or walking away from a good situation that is somehow no longer fulfilling. In this card you can see a man walking away, taking nothing with him, in pursuit of another journey. He has accomplished all he can in his present circumstances. He yearns for something more to fulfill him and goes off in search of it. Leaving behind his success and accomplishments. Forging a path that will give him new purpose and goals to achieve. The Eight of Cups is also associated with leaving materialism behind for something greater in regards to the spiritual realm.
