Eight of Pentacles

This card is about learning, preparation, concentration and dedication. The man in the card is hard at work, chiseling away at the task at hand, aspirations of a true craftsman. He is absorbed and focused. He’s still an apprentice so the more he keeps at it, the more he comprehends and the better he progresses. He wants to know more and do more. This card indicates at time when we are or must give our all to something, whatever it may be (a job, project, goal). It’s a time to be methodical and meticulous. But we apply ourselves in this way because we enjoy the effort and the stimulating feeling we attain from it. This type of work leads to excellent outcomes.
