Eight of Cups

The Moon is eclipsing the Sun as a person walks away from the edge of a bank.  The Moon is symbolic of psychic power, life cycles, intuition.  The man is walking up a hill or incline, ready to take on challenges - he's moving forward, the past is the past but has learn it's lessons, both good and bad.  The hill or incline is also representative of moving to a higher place spiritually, becoming closer to the Creator.  The staff in the persons had is representative of pilgrimage or guidance.

So the theme of this card is moving forward to gain a deeper meaning to issues or circumstances  to life's challenges.  Not to make judgments, not to hide in a corner and think about "what if", but to contemplate and learn from experience.
