Eight of Cups and Eight of Pentacles

Walking away from one thing and applying yourself to another. The tradition reads this as the most constructive departure pairing in the deck: the Eight of Cups leaves, and the Eight of Pentacles is what the person does next, at a bench, learning something properly.

Associated with leaving a relationship and turning the attention inward to real work rather than to the next person.

Retraining. Frequently read for people who left a field and committed to becoming competent in another rather than to escaping.

The pair puts the two cards in an order and the order matters. Leaving without the bench is the Eight of Cups on its own, which the deck treats as a much lonelier card.
