Something that was once close to your heart now feels uninteresting or draining.  Today, take some distance from that project or relationship.  You may come back to it, or you may not.  What is important now is to replenish yourself emotionally and spiritually.  Take time to be alone to contemplate one’s emotions and decide if leaving is the best route.  It could mean literally leaving — changing homes, ending a relationship, quitting a job, going on a trip to find yourself — or, leaving behind hopes and dreams.  Either you or someone involved is tired of feeling disappointed and hopeless and is ready to look for better things.  Often, the Eight of Cups indicates a craving for spiritual deepening.
