Eight of Chalices
The figure in the Eight of Chalices is leaving it all behind. He stares into the mist, not knowing where his path will lead him, but knowing it’s better than where he is now. He leans on the Chalices for support, depending on his emotions and intuition to guide him safely through. Heaving a sigh, he walks ponderously into the unknown.

upright meaning:
confusion • uncertainty • escapism
As executed in the Tower, sometimes life can hand you a swift, unpleasant surprise. You may have realized that something very important to you, a central hub of your existence, is essentially meaningless. The walls come tumbling down, and a miasma of confusion comes swirling in, replacing structure and verisimilitude with chaos and uncertainty. The only answer is to leave it all behind. In time, the mist will part, and reveal a midnight sky alight with stars.

reversed meaning:
obstruction • conflict • indecision
Your way forward is obscured, and you are not sure if you should stay or go. Compelled to make a choice with such limited information, you feel ill at ease, caught between two conflicting realities. Breathe into it. Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable but not impossible to live with. Locate your inner reserves and speak aloud your intentions. Clear your mind. You may not be able to make an ideal decision, but already the mist is beginning to clear.
