EIGHT OF CUPS

Seeking your Authentic Self.

The Eight of Cups represents taking the journey within to the realm of your authentic feelings. Periodically, you must go deep within yourself to hear your Spirit and reclaim strengths and abilities you forgot you possessed. Although the journey inward is of great value, it rarely feels easy to initiate. It is often accompanied by a period of depression, feeling crazy, or the sense that you’ve hit a patch of bad luck. The Eight of Cups reminds you that you’ve probably made a similar journey before, just prior to a deeper revelation about yourself. Your instincts will, once again, be your best guide.

When you are quiet, do you hear the call of your Authentic Self ? Do you periodically go through periods of confusion, depression, or unexplained bad luck? How has your life improved in the past as a result of listening to your heart?

The man depicted on the Eight of Cups is reminiscent of the Hermit. He is taking a journey alone, staff in hand, returning to the realm of water, caves, and grottos. He is walking toward the sea, representing the pull of his deep unconscious feelings. These feelings were not acknowledged in his daily life and were acting up in strange ways. At first he thought he was crazy, then just unlucky. Finally, he realized his authentic feelings were not being respected or acknowledged. He wasn’t being true to himself. This was the cause of his unease.

The moon is eclipsing the sun and is observing the man’s journey. Our Inner Self observes our choices in the same way. Thoughts about what the man should do, or be, to gain the acceptance of others in his daily life (the sun), are now being eclipsed by his instinctual self (the moon). At long last, he has the courage to go within and reconnect with his real feelings. His authentic feelings are now his best friends, giving him the depth and wisdom to persevere.

The moon has been associated with instincts since the dawn of humanity. It elusively pulls at our awareness, and yet it is easy to dismiss and ignore (just like our instincts). The Latin word for moon is luna, which we get our word “lunatic” from. If your instincts are chronically ignored, they can make you feel crazy. Like a neglected child, unheard emotions will act up if they are habitually ignored. This often manifests as periods of bad luck, sadness, imagined illnesses, or times when you feel utterly lost and powerless. Returning within will help you reclaim your Authentic Self and arm you with the ability to set everything right again. This journey can only happen alone and in the dark places. The darkness is where the potential for healing happens.

The Eight of Cups appears to remind you to let your instincts guide your path. The very fact that you are reading a tarot book demonstrates that you have the courage to listen to these unconscious feelings. The unconscious speaks in the language of pictures, myths, and symbols.
