Eight of Pentacles
The Fool journeys to the Eight of Pentacles and finds that he has talent. He knows that he must practice and practice to make things perfect, and he pays extra attention to the small details. He spends time honing a skill and pursuing a goal, fully aware that it will take time to master it. He is an apprentice, a novice taking on something new that he hopes will sustain him financially, if not now, then one day in the future. Right now, he is enjoying every moment with his new, consuming interest.
We can find ourselves absorbed here, and with complete concentration, we focus on perfecting something we want to master, understand, and excel at. We want to get "it" right.
A natural aptitude for a subject can capture our attention, and even if it is not so natural, we can still find a lot of pleasure in learning something new that we can get lost in. Work may be hard but fun and satisfying, and here we are going through a learning process.
Mentally, we can find ourselves engrossed and riveted by a subject, an issue, or a topic and very much enjoying it. We find here that our goals and wishes can be accomplished in the real world via concentration, aptitude, and dedication.
If you have any flair or talent, expand on them. If you have an interest you wish to jump into, get going—acquire a new skill or brush the cobwebs off an existing one.
If you find that you need to study, learn, practice, or start at the bottom with work, an issue, or any area of life to gain the experience you need, now is a good time.
If you discover that you are pretty darn good at something, you can even make money from it if you try!

Pam has always given me very insightful readings. Sometimes when I get my hopes up too high I know I can come to her for a dose of realism. She explains situations and people clearly and helps me know how best to move forward in a more realistic way. It has helped me avoid disappointment when things don't turn out as I'd like or move as smoothly as I would wish. Highly recommend! Thank you again Pam!

I just recently purchased Understanding Tarot. I wish I had this book when I began learning Tarot a few years back. Simply fabulous. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is into Tarot. It is the best book I have found on learning and understanding Tarot. The description of the cards along with the details and summaries of what the cards represent are amazing!!
