Mystic Dreamer Tarot
EIGHT OF CUPS
A woman carrying a violin and a lantern turns her back on eight cups. Either the moon or the lighthouse is beckoning her, compelling her to leave her past behind and strike out on a new journey. The image has a feeling of melancholy; there is sadness that she is leaving, but it seems like it is inevitable.
This card represents a very small but powerful moment in time. You've decided you need to leave something comfortable behind and you have come to terms with that. You've decided what dream you're moving toward. This moment, the one where you finally turn your back forever and before you take the first step, is the Eight of Cups. It can be such a conflicted moment, filled with sadness over leaving, yet knowing you are doing the right thing.
If reversed, this card suggests that you've given up the dream and decided to stay put, whether you are fulfilled and satisfied or not.
