Eight of Cups

Abandoned Success

Description of the Illustration: It is harvest time, and the fields of wheat are burgeoning (like the pregnant belly of Gaia) under the scorching heat as the farmers toil in the fields. Eight farmers rest as they wipe their sweaty brows and drink from their eight golden cups. One farmer, however, is fed up with the back-breaking work, and he is abandoning the fields; his back is to us as he wears a traveling cloak with the image of the planet Saturn embroidered upon it, walking stick in hand, as he follows a stream towards the ocean far in the distance, where we can just make out the two fish of Pisces playing joyfully. Two of the farmers at rest make fun of their departing co-worker. An orange sphere (Hod) peeks over the bottom center edge of the card.
