When the 8 of Cups appears, you're totally dissatisfied with your present mode of life and want something higher. Is the grass greener on the other side of the mountain or does it just seem that way? You may abandon your present daily routine in order to find out.
Note that in this card, the man has stacked his cups neatly before moving on. He appears to be finished with those past concerns and worries of the material world. Now he seeks something different, and even though he's not sure what he'll find on the other side of those mountains, he's setting off to seek it.
Reversed Imagery and Meanings: When the 8 of Cups is reversed, the man turns back around to the material world and his search for pleasure and success of a material nature, with joy and feasting on the horizon. With a flip of the card, he's back in the physical world, which isn't always a bad place to be.
When this card appears reversed, you have renewed interest in people and connections to the earthly plane. This can mean that a new love interest is in view, whether a person or a condition. You'll get your passion for the physical world back again with the 8 of Cups reversed. It comes up for people wanting to enjoy life, whether through friends, travels, or new adventures. It indicates a need for love, passion, and adventure, all of which add up to bliss, a time for reentering the world after a period of retreat.
