You can make the decision to end a relationship, no matter how long it has lasted. If you feel that way, you should act and not wait for a suitable moment, because in reality there is never a suitable moment for this type of situation.

The eight of cups tells you that it is very important that from then on, you do not immediately enter another relationship. Give yourself time and space to be on your own.

If you are alone at this time, this state may last a little longer since your search seems to never end. Everything is disappointing to you and you keep looking.

This card indicates that it may very well not be the right one for you. You may feel bored and apathetic, that you are not valued enough or that you are not moving forward as you want.

This letter is not indicative that you should leave it yes or yes, that can be a good solution, but it could also make you rethink things and try to fix them.

What is certain is that things will not fix themselves, therefore, either you decide to take a drastic turn or you do your best to compose things, trying to make them fit as best as possible to your idea of what is correct and makes you happy.

It will also represent that the person is quite exhausted with his current situation and wish to leave everything behind to achieve a higher purpose of life. This decision is a prompt one.

You can afford to take some risks that enrich you beyond the purely material, and on your own, try, especially if you are not too happy in the present you are in.

In the financial context, this card will help you to indicate the way you would walk away from your job or business that no longer satisfies you. You would always feel that you are not on the correct career path. You might also look for a complete career change. There would be a good chance of traveling in relation to work.

Simulation of illness, attracting the attention of others, perhaps as a result of the indifference of loved ones.
