The Journey of Improvement

Mako works hard improving her baking skills. She is diligent and focused, attempting to perfect a Brooch shaped cake. Though her skills are improving, she is still consumed by her work.

Significance of the Eight of Brooches

The Eight of Brooches demands determination and a disciplined focus in both our work and our lives. We follow our instincts to seek the development and training required for our success. The Eight of Brooches can also indicate our further development requires outside assistance and we need to find a trainer or educator to keep pushing forward.

Reversed Interpretations

The Eight of Brooches suggests impatience and its secondary emotions: frustration and envy. This may result from the attitude of only looking for success and not actually working towards that success. These feelings can also arise from stagnation or perfectionism getting in the way of a formally satisfying occupation.

Visual Description

A young woman in a green top, black skirt and pale yellow apron stands at a pastel kitchen counter arranging pink-and-gold brooches that resemble star-emblazoned medallions. Several finished brooches sit on the counter and a small stack lies on the floor beside a rug; more brooches rest on a dish near the sink. The sink area contains a bowl with batter or dough, jars, a plant on the windowsill, and a faucet; a crescent moon motif appears in the decorative border above. The scene is bright and domestic, with soft purples, pinks and gold accents and a tidy, focused atmosphere.
