This card portrays a young man working diligently and happily on a project. He has already completed a great deal of his task and is focused on maintaining the quality of his work.

When the Eight of Pentacles appears in a reading, this focused and satisfying work is indicated. It may be that you will soon be employed in steady and rewarding work, that you need to persevere in a matter that is near completion, or that you are learning a great deal through work that may seem repetitive.

Regardless of the details, this is a card of nearing mastery and maintaining effort and focus until the end.

ADVICE: You are involved in a course of study in preparation for a better future. Your discipline and drive will serve you well. Do take a moment, though, to enjoy some pleasant companionship. Be aware of driving yourself too hard and to the exclusion of all else. Even in the midst of heavy studies or work, a person needs a little rest and relaxation.
