Your Daily Tarot Reading:
Your Past Life Love Has Something to Say to You
Eight of Cups - Walking Away
The Eight of Cups depicts a man walking away from eight cups standing on the ground. It appears as if one cup is missing from the collection, which is a sign that there is something aching emotionally in your life. The man has turned his back on these cups, feeling huge loss and disappointment with his life as he abandons them.
The stream of water close by represents man’s emotions, and the mountains symbolize the journey ahead being challenging, though worth it in the end. The moon shown is a sign that the path ahead has a form of light attached to it, and as it is nighttime, there seems to be avoidance linked with his intentions.
“Your past life lover sees you walking away from so many potential love interests, that it is hurtful to them to see you say no when all you might want to do is give someone a chance. Being single forever might be something you think you want, but you are closing many opportunities to love and be loved.
You have the experience of love on your side, but as it wasn’t in this life, it is hard to tap into and recreate for the present moment. You needn’t fear - because you can find it within you to open your heart again.
Walking away is at the center of the Eight of Cups, but it doesn’t have to be the center of you. Think about what love means to you, and fight for it.”
“Past life lovers like to see you produce new loves as you move through your consequential lives. Walking away when you should start and deciding if that is the right choice first is something too many people refuse to do.
If you feel like you want to escape - decide first if you just need time and space before you make any rash decisions that will affect, you both. Love is always worth the battle.”
Your past life lover has a message for you.
“I don’t want to see you walk away from anything or anyone - unless it is truly something you have outgrown. Potential love has all the time in the world for you, but you have to want it too. Making excuses is something I see you do frequently, and it isn’t getting you anywhere.
If you love someone, stick by them through thick and thin. This is what people need most of, even if from time to time you need your own space. As your past lover, I need to see you try, both with yourself and others. Love is eternal - so avoiding it is no use.”
Right when you want to turn your heel and walk the other way, something feels as though it is pulling you back to the present moment. If it feels like someone has reins on you, it could be because they do, and because they don’t want you to make a mistake you will forever come to regret.
Eventually, you will have nobody to blame but yourself, so if you feel this invisible force of movement, know that a past life lover can return to you - determined to see you succeed in love in this lifetime. One way of finding out if something is meant to be - is taking the risk and going for it today.
The Eight of Cups appears to just give up entirely on everything they want or have recently tried to fight for. Wanting a little time for introspection, the man pictured walks away from everything they could ever wish for, creating an empty space that only their own courage and determination can fill.
If you have been abandoned in the past, now is the time to look now as a new opportunity to thrive and get what you want. There is sadness in loneliness, but you don’t have to remain lonely forever. The Eight of Cups wants to give you the chance to breathe before you return to your responsibilities and start again.
I do not have to recreate my lonely, abandoned past. I can start anew.
