Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Eight of Pentacles

The Rider-Waite-Smith-Eight of Pentacles Tarot card is again more prosaic and traditional than Western Hermetic Qabalistic Tarot, as it shows a craftsman at his work on finishing one disk while paying attention to detail, while six finished ones 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 trivial things, at the expense of the great. However, it is also about skill, work, labor, employment, skilled craftsmanship, and business.

The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot- 8 of Earth.

The Erotic Tarot- 8 of Earth focuses on manual ability, as the woman plays her India snake charmer flute, the Been, and making the film arise swaying to the rhythm. Besides being a unique talent, this requires dedication. Therefore, we have a dedicated actor/actress who knows how to make film dance to their music. Also since this is Erotic Tarot, the woman could be also displaying the Tantric Art practice of "playing the flute" as shown on the Indian Temples of Khajuraho, and Konarak. This was also a ritual practiced by certain Gnostic sects, to enhance the birth of "mind children". Either way, dedication and ability are needed.

Milo Manara gave this 8 of Earth card the meanings of:

  • Dedication.
  • Manual ability.
  • Commitment.
  • Unique gift.

The Astrological meaning of the Sun in Virgo, which is the need to live in a critical and artistic way, with a love for detail.

Individuals with the Sun in Virgo often exhibit distinctive characteristics associated with this zodiac sign. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, influencing their traits. Here are some unique characteristics of someone with their Sun in Virgo:

  1. Analytical and Detail-Oriented: Virgos have a keen eye for detail and are highly analytical. They excel in tasks that require precision and attention to minutiae.

  2. Practical and Grounded: Virgos are known for their practicality and down-to-earth nature. They prefer tangible, realistic solutions and are not prone to flights of fancy.

  3. Organized and Efficient: Virgos thrive in organized environments. They have a natural ability to streamline processes and ensure efficiency, making them excellent planners and organizers.

  4. Service-Oriented: Virgos derive satisfaction from helping others. They often find fulfillment in acts of service and are willing to go the extra mile to support those around them.

  5. Critical Thinkers: Virgos have a sharp mind and are critical thinkers. They enjoy problem-solving and are adept at finding logical solutions to challenges.

  6. Modesty and Humility: Virgos are typically modest and humble, preferring to let their actions speak louder than words. They may downplay their achievements and seek improvement continually.

  7. Health-Conscious: Virgos are mindful of their well-being and often adopt healthy lifestyles. They pay attention to diet, exercise, and overall self-care to maintain optimal health.

  8. Worry Prone: While their analytical minds serve them well, Virgos may sometimes overanalyze and become prone to worrying. It's important for them to find a balance and not let anxiety dominate their thoughts.

  9. Discerning Tastes: Virgos often have refined and discerning tastes. Whether it's in the arts, fashion, or any other aspect of life, they appreciate quality and craftsmanship.

Understanding these traits can provide insights into the personality of individuals with their Sun in Virgo. Keep in mind that the overall astrological profile, including the Moon and rising signs, contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of a person's characteristics.

When the 8 of Pentacles/ 8 of Earth 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 an inner place of balance and integration.
  • Making sure that all the bases are covered; every "t" crossed 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 too tightly on the minute 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),
