Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into tarot lately, and today I wanted to really get to the bottom of the 8 of Cups and its zodiac sign connection. I’ve heard different things, so I figured I’d do my own little experiment.
First, I pulled out my trusty Rider-Waite deck. I love the imagery on this deck, it really speaks to me. I shuffled the cards, focusing on the question: “What zodiac sign best represents the 8 of Cups?” Then, I laid out a few cards, just to get a feel for the overall energy.
My Little Experiment
- Card 1: The 8 of Cups itself. Needed that front and center!
- Card 2: A potential zodiac sign card (I went through a few).
- Card 3: A clarifying card, just in case.
I started with Pisces. It felt right intuitively, you know, that watery, emotional vibe. I placed the 8 of Cups, then The Star (which often represents Pisces in some readings), and then… The Lovers. Hmm, interesting. The Lovers made me think about choices, and the 8 of Cups is ALL about walking away from something. Maybe walking away from a relationship, a situation, even an old version of yourself.
Then, I switched it up. I tried Cancer. I put down the 8 of Cups, then the Queen of Cups (representing Cancer), and for the clarifying card, I got the Five of Pentacles. Okay, that felt a little too…bleak. Fives often represent struggle, and while the 8 of Cups is about leaving, it’s also about seeking something better. It’s not just about loss.
I kept going, trying different combinations. I considered Scorpio, because of the intensity and the potential for transformation, but it didn’t quite click. The cards I pulled alongside just didn’t resonate in the same way.
Finally, I went back to Pisces. I shuffled again, really focusing on that feeling of gentle sadness, of letting go, but also of hope for the future. I laid out the cards: 8 of Cups, The Star, and this time… The Sun! Wow. That felt right.
The Sun is all about joy, optimism, and success. It’s like, yeah, you’re walking away from something, but you’re walking towards something amazing. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but ultimately a positive one.
So, after all that, I’m feeling pretty confident that Pisces is the best zodiac fit for the 8 of Cups. It’s that mix of emotion, intuition, and the courage to move on to a brighter future.
It totally makes sense with my own experiences and what I was going through at the moment.
