Eight of Cups
The Fool journeys to the Eight of Cups, and he feels that a piece of the emotional jigsaw puzzle he finds himself in is missing. He wishes to set out, with no idea of where he will end up or what he will find, into the unknown. He knows, intuitively and instinctually, that more is needed to make him happy. In a rut, he steps out of his comfort zone, with faith that he can find his missing piece, even if he is confused, as he wishes to avoid stagnation.
What we may have invested in, cared for, and what has brought rich emotional rewards, and can still do so, leaves us with an inner calling to find more to complete the picture and avoid stagnation.
Right now, a change is needed, either in perspective connected to what you have, or something completely new that enhances what we have, or even a new start.
We often feel this card as an urge to do something, have more, or do more, feeling prompted to make changes, yet we often have no idea what those changes will bring. We have an itch to scratch; something has been outgrown, and we may know exactly what would make things better; we may have an inkling or not a goddam clue.
Change your routine, change your perspective, and change your situations. You do not have to leave a situation to improve it, yet that can be on the cards. Listen to your disappointment and dissatisfaction, be brave, and act.
Microchanges or big ones, follow your intuition and your heart, find what is missing, and rewrite your goals.

I bought this on Kindle ( love the instant availablity) and love using it! I find all the in-depth explanations of the symbolism on each card has been so helpful to me! Yesterday- I look at my daily card (huh here's a guy in a chariot with 2 sphinxes), then read your Chariot discussion-- WOW I was stunned at how much was on the card ! Thank you for making this all available for us.

If you’re thinking of having a reading I can really recommend Pam
She is so intuitive and gets right to the heart of the matter
Her warmth comes through and even though nothing is sugar coated I find her reassuring
