The Eight of Cups is a card used in Latin-suited playing cards, which include tarot decks. It is part of what tarot card readers call the "Minor Arcana".[1] Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[2] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[2][3]
This card indicates changes in emotional attachments, departures, and breaking of links with the past.[1] This card usually carries the meaning of disillusionment and abandonment of things which have not been emotionally fulfilling. It features a man wearing a red cloak with a staff walking on rocky terrain, as if walking away from the viewer, eight cups stacked on the ground, with the moon in the sky.
