Eight of Cups Love Tarot Card Description

 

Upright Meaning

Is your relationship working? I don't mean is it perfect but do you want to spend your life with this person, do you fulfil each other, are you friends as well as lovers? If not you might need to consider what you are actually gaining from staying. If you seem to have hit a brick wall it might be time to lay your relationship to rest. It may be hard to finish your romance but at least you will both be free to move on. Don't let fear of the unknown make you stay in an unsatisfactory relationship, be brave and make a break. Occasionally this card can point to an abusive relationship, hopefully this isn't the case, but if it is, get out and stay out. If leaving is difficult don't be shy about seeking professional help to escape, if you don't leave it is only going to get worse and you deserve much, much better.

Reversed Meaning

If you are hanging back when it comes to moving forward you need to ask yourself why. It could be that you have only recently joined the ranks of single folk, if so give yourself time. But if you have been on your own for a while you need to address whatever is holding you back. Equally, it could be your partner who is stuck in the past, try to get them to realise this is harming your relationship. If you are staying in an unsatisfactory relationship because you are nervous about leaving, you could be making a big mistake.

It is possible you are lumbered with a lover who is unable or unwilling to commit so you may be wise to cut your losses. Alternatively, you and your partner could be too entwined in your own little world and risk becoming over dependent on each other. Try to develop some separate interests and celebrate your individuality.
