Combination of card Eight of Cups and card Ten of Pentacles
In the interaction of these two cards in their upright positions, good harmony is evident. The Eight of Cups symbolizes leaving beaten paths and seeking new ones, while the Ten of Pentacles signifies stability and well-being. It's as if you made a bold move, abandoning the familiar, which led to success and stability. It's like you left a job you didn't love to start your own business, and it is thriving.
Combination of card Eight of Cups and reversed card Ten of Pentacles
Now the Eight of Cups has to face the reversed Ten of Pentacles. This may indicate some tension. You had to make a tough choice and let go of something familiar, but the results have not yet brought the expected well-being. Perhaps you left your job to start your own business, but things are not going as smoothly as you hoped.
Combination of reversed card Eight of Cups and card Ten of Pentacles
The Eight of Cups reversed combined with the Ten of Pentacles upright can indicate that you have been fixated on the past for too long and fear change. At the same time, you have all the opportunities for stability and prosperity. For example, you may have wanted to quit your job and start your own business for a long time, but the fear of change keeps you in place.

When both cards are reversed, it may indicate an inner conflict. On one hand, you are fixated on the past and fear change (Eight of Cups), and on the other hand, you are experiencing instability and possibly financial difficulties (Ten of Pentacles). Perhaps you left your job and started your own business, but it has not yet generated income and is causing financial problems.
