Combination of card Eight of Cups and card Temperance

The Temperance card in the upright position and the Eight of Cups in the upright position together promise a special period. This is a time when, guided by Temperance, a person finds inner balance and harmony. It is very likely that this will contribute to the successful completion of matters, as indicated by the Eight of Cups. The person may finally let go of something old that was holding them back.

Combination of reversed card Eight of Cups and card Temperance

Temperance upright and the Eight of Cups reversed together indicate that the person is in a state of harmony and balance, but there are some obstacles to their development. They may be unable to let go of something from the past or fear moving forward. This could be related to a sense of security or fear of change.

Combination of card Eight of Cups and reversed card Temperance

When Temperance is reversed, and the Eight of Cups remains upright, it means the person may be too hard on themselves or taking inappropriate risks. At the same time, the Eight of Cups pushes them towards change, but they might face resistance or reluctance to change. For example, they might ignore their true feelings or desires to maintain the status quo.

Combination of reversed card Eight of Cups and reversed card Temperance

Reversed Temperance and reversed Eight of Cups together predict a period of chaos and confusion. On one hand, a person might feel indifferent; on the other, they fear change or new opportunities. They might fear losing what they have or simply fear the unknown. This can manifest as stagnation, postponing decisions, or excessive self-criticism.
