Card combination

Seven of Cups and Eight of Cups

Too many options, then walking away from all of them. The Eight is a figure leaving eight stacked cups behind under a moon, going uphill. The tradition reads this run as the resolution of the Seven: not a choice among the visions, but a departure from the whole arrangement.

In love

Associated with leaving a situation rather than picking between possibilities inside it. Read as clarity arriving in the form of an exit.

In career

Turning down a set of options because none is the actual answer. Frequently read for career changes that surprised everybody.

The advice

The cups the Eight leaves are stacked neatly and one gap is visible in the row. The tradition reads that gap as the reason, and as something only the person leaving can see.
