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 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 Prophet Tarot- 8 of Pentacles
The Prophet Tarot- Eight of Pentacles, illustrates a the same RWS studious craftsmanship, paying attention to the details of one's skill. Again, the pattern of pentacles is that of the Rider-Waite-Smith card, 6 finished, one laying on the table awaiting finish and one on the drawing board. This implies that there can be no success without challenging work. You may have a deadline to meet, or a project you have been procrastinating on, or you are looking to improve your situation, it's time to buckle down and get it done. This card declares that skillful work may feel like drudgery, but when finished, the pleasure you will feel makes it all worth it!
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 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),
