Eight of Cups Tarot Card meaning REVERSED

People around you have noticed this as well. The card indicates that you are very much on the fence about whether you should stick it out or walk away from the multiple challenging circumstances. Listen to your heart and trust your instincts before making any important decisions about your future. If the reversed card is paired with more passive cards such as the Hanged Man or the Four of Swords, then it may be a sign that you wish to try one more time.

Only you know whether this situation is serving you and if there is hope for the future.

Eight of Cups Tarot Card and LOVE

Upright:

  • Eight of Cups Tarot Card indicates that there are negative undercurrents in your love life. Your chances of salvaging this relationship are low and likely not worth the work. The fights you have been through and the obvious differences between the two of you are becoming increasingly difficult to overcome. So, the card can signify either you or your partner walking away from the relationship.  It often represents leaving a bad relationship. You may be so weary from the relationship that you feel you have no other option but to let it go. There is often some soul-searching that needs to be done about whether your partnership is one that truly fulfills you. It takes a lot of courage to look honestly within, as well as to walk away from a life that the two of you have built together. If you are single, this card could be a sign that something new is about to unfold. You may have recently ended a poisonous relationship or faced a period of profound emptiness as a result of being single for too long. If you put yourself out there, someone new and exciting will come your way. You may be afraid to start a new relationship due to abandonment issues or past heartache. The best thing you can do is remind yourself not to assume everyone will hurt you simply because you have been hurt in the past.

Understand your true worth and what you want from a partner.
