Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Eight of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite-Smith-Eight of Pentacles Tarot card, is again more prosaic and traditional than nontraditional Tarot, as it shows a craftsman at his work on finishing one disk paying attention to detail, while six are hanging and the seventh is on the floor, implying overreaching. The Divinatory meaning of the Waite card is, skill, prudence and over carefulness about small things, at the expense of the great. However, it is also about skill, work, labor, employment, skilled craftsmanship, and business.
Jungian Tarot- 8 of Pentacles
Manipulation and secrets.
By now you may be used to the minimalistic Jungian small cards. Here the Jungian 8 of Pentacles, is in a pattern of 2 above and 6vbelow The Ruler-ship of the Sun in Virgo (not shown on card) suggests birth. This represents the most mysterious and intriguing card of the Jungian Tarot. It's primary meaning is the essence of subtlety and diplomacy applied to a specific end; a plan seems accurate and complete, but is really a cover for secret ideas and intentions. Since people are secretly being manipulated without their knowledge, caution and critical attention to detail is essential. Although the agenda is hidden, profound significance emerges. This could mean academic honors, very serious news, the offer of an important position, or something agreed upon in private consideration or negotiation. Hence, this card can represent a good or bad situation. If surrounding influences are positive, secret work will yield results of excellence and strength. However, when influences are negative, this card suggests the presence of dishonesty, lies or a viscous plot.
When the 8/Eight of Pentacles is thrown during a reading, the querent is:
- In a moment of creative birth of 8 weeks or 8 months, requiring the practice of physical caution, carefulness, and prudence.
- Experiencing a type of physical wisdom radiating from a inner place of balance and integration.
- Making sure that all the bases are covered; every "t" crossed and and every "i" dotted.
- Making intelligent choices, like taking small steps instead of trying to do everything at once, thus making the material world more closely conform with one's needs.
- Experiencing the possibility of turning a talent or skill into a profession.
- Skill in work with energy and forms, such as fingers working on a manipulative substance.
- So focused on the minute they are unable to see the larger picture.
If reversed it implies:
- Focusing to tightly on the small details and not seeing the big picture, causing them to never finish a project!
- Not seeing the forest for the trees. (Looking only at the idea of profit and not seeing the lies and plots that will bankrupt them),
