The Eight of Cups

Upright

Take a hard look at current situations. Decide whether things are worth continuing. Changes of employment, residence, relationship or lifestyle may result. Walking away from that which is not in one's best interests. Leaving the comfort zone behind and risking the unfamiliar to achieve greater things.

Reversed

The risk fails. Greater things are not achieved. Return to that which was not worth continuing. Inability to escape from the unsatisfying or unproductive situation, and now things seem worse.
