This week the Moon passed over Neptune, much as one heavenly body is passing across another in the Eight of Cups. The arcana itself is ruled by Saturn in Pisces; we can feel the heavy, restrictive quality of the planet in the granite cliffs that hem in the mystical pilgrim as he moves on his way beside the piscean waters.
Friday, dedicated as it is to Venus, is a favourable day for the Eight of Cups to manifest as the piscean ichthyocentaurs are those which brought Venus to the shore of Cyprus after her birth. We may see this arcana as assisting the Queen of Cups and balancing the energy of the Eight of Swords.
