Eight cups are stacked in the foreground. You can see a figure with their back turned to the viewer. They are walking down a path that goes towards distant mountains
A journey is definitely implied with the Eight of Cups but depending on the surrounding cards there could be a bit more to it than that. Notice how the figure’s back is completely turned. This can indicate literally turning your back on the past or old ideas. That’s never an easy thing, as those mountains in the path indicate. But you have the strength and resources necessary to make the trip.
