Eight of Pentacles - Apply Yourself

December 10, cotd - Eight of Pentacles - from Crystal Visions Tarot. 

If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well. 

What will you set out to accomplish today? Eights are about stability and organization, and as everyone knows, (in theory anyway, LOL) the more organized we are the more we can accomplish and usually, the better the end result. This easily applies to all areas of our lives. When we set ourselves to learn a new skill or improve on the ones we have, do so with the intention of mastering those skills. As a wise person (?) once advised me, "don't do a half-ass job of it". (I can't remember which "wise" person that was.)

lwb-The Eight of Pentacles represent the apprentice working hard to master a skill. Keen attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and perseverance are key to becoming an expert. The woman at her spinning wheel pays special attention and takes care to do the job correctly. She works consistently towards greater expertise in her challenging craft. 

Where else might the Eight of Pentacles come into play for you?
