71-Eight of Pattern – Reversed Mage Deck

When reversed, the Eight of Coins suggests that you may not be putting in the needed time and effort to do a job well. Maybe you don’t care about producing a quality product, or maybe you are cutting corners just to get the job done. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Although there may be a short-term gain in your current approach, in the long run you are likely to feel a sense of dissatisfaction. When the storm arrives, it’s comforting to know you have put something away for a rainy day.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: A case in point occurred in Burma in 1987 during the dictatorship of Ne Win, a superstitious leader who was overly dependent on the advice of numerologists. Ne Win was convinced that his lucky number was nine. As a result, on September 5 of that year, the Burmese government announced (without warning or compensation) that it was demonetizing the 25-, 35- and 75-kyat notes because these denominations were not divisible by nine and were thus unlucky. In addition, 45- and 90-kyat notes were introduced because they were divisible by nine. The effect of this sudden change in the currency was devastating. In the blink of an eye, 75 percent of the country’s currency became worthless, causing families to lose their life savings. Riots followed, and a military coup overthrew Ne Win in 1988. When all was said and done, nine did not turn out to be such a lucky number for the superstitious dictator!

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Eight of Pentacles suggests that you may not be putting in the needed time and effort to do a job well. Maybe you don’t care about producing a quality product, or maybe you are cutting corners just to get the job done. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Although there may be a short-term gain in your current approach, in the long run you are likely to feel a sense of dissatisfaction. When the storm arrives, it’s comforting to know you have put something away for a rainy day.

Tarot for Beginners: The main meaning is first, followed by the ‘reversed’ meaning, which applies when the card appears upside down from the querent’s perspective. Reversed meanings are quite often the opposite of the upright meaning, although this isn’t always the case—sometimes, particularly with cards that have a negative indication when they’re upright, the reversed meaning is simply a more intense version.

Reversed Cards: The Eight of Pentacles is ruled by the sun. As we know, the sun doesn’t have a retrograde cycle, nor does it go backward in any way, shape, or form. It does, however, eclipse, flare up, and change its intensity with the seasons. It also disappears at night, meaning it allows for rest. If you have received the Eight of Pentacles in the retrograde aspect, it may be time to take a break. Stop burning and blazing for a moment and rest. Turn out the lights and let the darkness embrace you as you allow your body to regenerate before the sun comes up once again.
