Card 71 • pentacles

Eight of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Eight of Pentacles emphasizes the importance of hard work and personal effort in achieving one's goals. It suggests that while manifestation is valuable, taking action and honing your skills is essential for success. By putting in the necessary work, you may become proficient enough to teach others. In reverse, the card warns against striving for perfection to the point of missing out on growth that comes from mistakes.

Key Phrase

"Sorry, but fairies aren’t going to come do all the work for you!"

Meaning

Oh, to think that it used to take this witch an entire day to build just one fairy house! These days, she can build eight of them in a single afternoon, no problem. It’s one thing to manifest something into your life; however, it’s another thing entirely to do what’s necessary to make sure it has any chance of coming true. Though you may wish one of the fairies would come along to magically do the work for you, that’s never going to happen, but there’s nothing stopping you from using your own magic to get it done. All the blood, sweat, & tears you put into enhancing your skills will eventually be worth it—who knows, soon enough, you may be teaching others how it’s done!

Reversed Meaning

Don’t be so focused on doing a flawless job that you refuse to leave room for the odd mistake or two. After all, they often help you become even better at what you do, & some mistakes end up being big improvements. Go with the flow!
