The Gold Foil Tarot- Eight of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite-Smith/Gold Foil-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 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 Tarot of the Old Path- 8 of Pentacles
.
The Eight of Pentacles of the Tarot of the Old Path illustrates a man dressed in the greens of the Earth Element, weaving a Pentacle from straw. Seven straw Pentacles are finished and in the background.
He is obviously an excellent craftsman who uses the best straw, from wheat, to build his craft.
He is bearded, suggesting many years of patience, diligent hard work at his skill.
The primary meaning of this card is dedication, craftsmanship, skill, and the financial rewards of personal effort.
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 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),
