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.

Pam,
This is probably the best reading I’ve ever had. Extremely accurate, your words are so precise. I can’t thank you enough.

Hi Pam. I'm very happy also to be part of your Understanding tarot group where we can learn from each other and learn all about this and connect even more to the tarot.
Your book has transformed the way I feel about tarot. For so many years, I've tried to learn it and understand what each card means but now I see the cards differently, I notice things I never have seen before, your book has literally opened my eyes in a way I didn't know was possible. I have such a respect for the cards now and for the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith and the symbolism that she and Arthur Waite have brought to every card, that my desire to learn more about them grows each day.
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and insights with so many of us. Blessings to you.
