Tarot's Eight of Cups Card - Yes, Walk Away, But Not So Fast

 Many who come for Tarot readings are relieved when the Eight of Cups card comes up. It confirms for them that they are moving their lives in the right direction by deciding to walk away from X or Y. Or perhaps they have already done that.

But, a subtext of the messaging of the Eight of Cups is this: Own the past. Part of the process of walking away is reviewing what had gone before in order to derive the lessons to be learned. There are no mistakes in the Tarot. Only lessons to be mastered.

One client (identity disguised) had been euphoric about extricating himself from a romantic relationship that had not been fulfilling for several years. However, what was obvious was that he would replicate what hadn't worked unless he could own the patterns which had sucked him in and kept him locked in emotional chains (the latter came through in the Devil card).

Among what he discovered was his absolute need to project onto that other human being his image of the ideal soulmate. Of course, that is a natural and common fantasy in the beginning of romantic relationship. However, in time - usually very quickly - that collapses and the realities emerge. Since as a successful management consultant he assumed he didn't have to accept the humanity embedded in that spouse the marriage went south. 

The question for him was if he was capable and willing to surrender to the messy business of what it means to be human. For the time being he has backed off the search for another spouse. He has admitted that he loves the business models he creates for clients and he has considerable difficulty with human beings as they are. No, he does not see himself as human. That is a success-induced delusion.

It had been The New York Times in April 2021 which saluted the Tarot as a wonderful tool for self-awareness.
