8 of Cups Tarot Card: Walking Away When It Is Time To Walk Away

What is the 8 of Cups tarot card about? Among other things, it is about acceptance. It is about coming to the realization that it is time to walk away from a situation, and being okay with that.

You come to the realization and the understanding that something has come to an end and the temptation may be to feel bad about that. The temptation may be to feel guilty about letting go of something that you have held onto for so long. You may feel a sense of obligation to whatever this from your past is to the point where letting it go and walking away feels almost sacrilegious. But you must fight these feelings of negativity. They do not serve you. They are slowing you down and holding you back from what you are meant to move towards and move into.

So when you know in your gut that it is time to let go and move on, by all means find the fortitude to do so. If you don’t, your life will become unnecessarily stagnant. You will not have the new experiences that lead to new growth and understandings. You will stay stuck in one place, probably feeling frustrated by your circumstances, and in time, resentful at that which you felt held you back from moving forward. Don’t let there be regret later for the path not taken. Don’t look back with regret at a path your heart told you to take, but for whatever reason, you didn’t. Take the path you intuitively know you need to take as you come upon them. Don’t let them fall behind you. Finding your way back to it once you pass it may be difficult or even impossible. Be careful of this, and be mindful.

8 of Cups Tarot Card: Just Go

The 8 of cups tarot card is saying to you,  “Just go.” There is no scolding here. There is no bitterness. There is no judgment. All there is is the reality that it is time. Whatever the place or the situation at hand is, it  has run its course in your life, and the course it has run is valuable. Through this course, you have gained wisdom, life experience, and enlightenment. But now you have absorbed what it had to offer and life is becoming stagnant.

But your life is not meant to be stagnant. Your life is meant to be fluid, flowing, and in motion. So keep moving. Look back and say, “Thank you for what you gave me.” Then move on. There is more for you to absorb in this world. Go now and find what is next. This is what the 8 of cups tarot card has for you today.

8 of Cups Tarot Card: Walk away towards evolution

The 8 of Cups tarot card tells you to know when to walk away. It’s that simple. Know when to walk away. It is so easy to get into this mindset that we need to cling. We feel like if something or somebody comes into our life, we need to hold onto to it. Keep it as a keepsake. Get all the energy we can out of it. But you know what? That  is not what life is all about. Life is about being present and alive in the moment, each moment as it comes. Moment after moment.

Sometimes a moment is just that- a moment. it is not meant to be an hour. It is not meant to be a day. it is not meant to be a week. It is just a moment. So when the moment is done, make room for the next. Let go of what you do not need from the moment, walk away from it. Make room for the next. This is how you will grow. This is how you will evolve. This is what it means to be light as you walk down your path of life. Why make that harder than it has to be by clinging to what has expired?

8 of Cups Tarot Card: It’s time to let go

The 8 of Cups Tarot Card asks you, “What happens when once was new, exciting, adventurous, and thrilling becomes common and mundane?” Well, maybe it’s time to say “Okay. That’s enough.” When you’ve had enough, it just means that it has served its purpose in your life and it is time to put it behind you. Something to be ashamed of? Of course not. It just means it is time to retire the old energy to make room for new. Recognize when such and such a thing does not contribute to the overall quality and highest good of your life.

When you see that this is the case, be okay with letting it go. Life stays fresh this way. This way, you are not clinging to the dead weight of once was. By clinging too tightly to that which yo should let go, you run the risk of developing resentment for for this. by letting it go you are honoring it. Keep this in mind.
