August 27,20ll- The Eight of Pentacles

Eight of Pentacles.Core Meaning: Working Carefully
The card shows a spider who has carefully woven eight pentacles into his intricate web attached to a tree branch.

There are fae like beings woven throughout the tree branch looking down upon the spider, hard at his work, and the background of the card is filled with dreamy colors of  blues, purples, and greens. This card truly depicts the meaning of hard work, patience, diligence and consideration. However, it also shows how all these aspects pay off. The spider's web is absolutely magnificent.
If I were to pull this card I would also describe it as such; perhaps there is a project one is taking on that will require careful, tedious work, or maybe it is a sign of needing more patience with the more difficult situations in life. Or, if someone has been working on something they are passionate about, that the reward for finishing it will be positive, regardless of how difficult the path was to get them there.
