Sulis
Below a blazing orange sun we see a winding path which leads down between pine trees to a stream in the foreground.
Right at the front of the card (so on the other side of the stream), are a stack of 8 golden goblets. The goblets all bear a red heart and are overflowing with liquid so that the liquid in the top goblet flows into the three beneath which in turn flow into the four goblets which form the base of the 'pyramid'.
Red roses bloom all around the stack of goblets and are strewn on the path.
The borders of the cards also contain goblets stacked on top of each other with liquid flowing from those at the top to those below them.
On the path is a horse and rider, heading away from the goblets in the foreground and galloping towards the sun. The rider's hair and cape stream out behind her.
Eights to me relate to Justice and are all about balance. Eight comes almost at the end of the numerical sequence 1 -10 and to me they also show the balancing of energies following the upset of the sevens and the 'race towards the finish' (a bit like the increase in action towards the end of a movie).
So this person has had enough of a situation and can get no more out of it emotionally. The rider has neatly stacked the goblets on top of each other and has gone in search of the ninth cup.
I like the way the tower or pyramid of goblets looks slightly uneven and so isn't balanced and that is why the rider must search for the ninth cup; something is missing and she must move to find that balance (eight).
There is a lot of movement in this card; the rider gallops towards the sun which could well be setting and the water flows freely from cup to cup.
The roses link the cups to the emotion of love and also make me think of passion... Has she gone in search of passion?
I know nothing of runes but hopefully Rede Seeker or 6 Haunted Days will be along to help me out.
