Eight (8) Of Cups
I see some similar things that have been mentioned by others.
Every time I see this card I think of a person leaving an "unbalanced" situation (the blatant "missing" cup issue). This person tried to get the cups to even out, but the manner in which he stacked them (approached a situation? his ideas/beliefs about a particular issue?)....leaves him feeling like he's failed and cannot balance it/them out. So...he leaves...gives up....heads for higher ground....to "get away from it all" and clear his thinking....start over(?).
I also noticed, by chance, that the Roman Numeral VIII (at top of card) is "broken" on the V-portion. The line above the V is incomplete. I'm wondering if this ties into the idea that this card maybe be about "out of whack" things or emotions...or things over which we have no control, therefore...we need to move on from them...or accept them as they are. Also, the missing line above the V may coincide with/get us to focus on the idea of a "missing cup?"
Anyway...I checked the other "Eights" in the Minors....and the Eight Of Cups is the only one with the broken line above the "V."
Just my observation.
