The defining feature of the Seven of Cups – getting rid of "unnecessary" emotional baggage.

The Seven of Cups (getting rid of "wrong" emotions) is closely related to a reversed Ten of Cups (regret, remorse, "negative" transformation of feelings). Often, in fact, they are mutually interconnected. Therefore, it's easy to confuse a Seven of Cups with a reversed Ten of Cups.

But these are different cards. Both in terms of sign as well as numerical value. To distinguish between them, you should always look at the sign of the card.

Regret, remorse, guilt, shame are, first and foremost, a "reversed", "negative" numerical value. And only after that does the actual cause of the psychic transformation (that is, the Ten) follow.

Fig. 2.7.9 Reversed Ten of Cups. Regret, remorse, guilt. A paralyzed psyche. 217

Eight of Cups

– Way to go, Masha! I'm really impressed! Now, that's loyalty! Married four times, but you've still got the same lover!

"Eights", according to the Kabbalah, are form + form, stability, constancy.

Cups are emotions, feelings, and memories.

Thus, the Eight of Cups represents something stable, resilient, and constant, a formation of emotions, feelings, and memories.

It may symbolize stable feelings, emotions, memories. Such as, for instance: confidence, equanimity, loyalty, tranquility.

In the sphere of memories and remembering, the Eight of Cups may be a stable, enduring memory. Such as, for instance, your ability to recall your own name and place of residence.
