As a yes or no answer:No

Upright

Leaving what no longer fulfils you to seek something deeper.

Under a waning moon, a figure walks away from eight neatly stacked cups toward the mountains. You are leaving something that no longer fulfils you, even though it may look fine from outside. It is hard, but your heart knows this is the right direction. Something deeper is waiting.

Reversed
