8 of [--] Clubs
The Exhaustive Discharge:
-- Frantic & Fatiguing

Consumptive sickness, disease and purging
Frantic panic, last gasp surging
Fatigued and fizzling, lots of sighing
Light snuffed out... gloom of dying

Frantic panic fatiguing
Consumptive gloom draining

Description:
A crucified arm breathes its last breath of life and lets go of its eight staves. They fall in rapid succession, like the water poured from the pitcher in this card’s corresponding Major Trump, The Hopeless Sickling.

Below, someone snuffs out a candle, symbolizing the snuffing out of this person’s life. No more light. No more energy.

He held on to those eight staves for dear life. They were his source of hope. But his depleted condition lead to fatigue and exhaustion. Then burnout. Then disease. Then panic, as he realized his destiny. After one final frantic burst of energy, he was gone.

The snuffed candle also symbolizes his burnout and how he just fizzled away.

The falling bird symbolizes his fall from grace. He did not die a dignified death. He was crucified. Perhaps this is the beaten man from the previous card.

Prediction:
You will burn out. Your energy will fail you. You will not have the energy to finish. You will get sick.

Advice:
Don't burn the candle at both ends. Don't waste energy. Don't run yourself ragged. Don't run on empty. Beware of failing health. Don't be impulsive and sporadic.

Maxim:
Sickness comes in haste and goes at leisure.
Haste makes waste.
