Romance, Love Or Relationships:

The reversed Eight of Pentacles can show in a current relationship that one or both of you may not be prepared to do the ‘work’ that is necessary to maintain a happy and fulfilling relationship. Rethink this. Relationships are not a parking lot, people do not just form a relationship or marriage and live happily ever after. On the other hand, you are the only part of the equation that you can control. Do your part, and then see what happens. If you’re looking for love, you are going to have to work to find it. Don’t just sit home and imagine it falling out of the sky. Build your own happy, fulfilling life, and get out and meet people, if you really want love in your life. Don’t fool yourself that it will just magically happen.

The Lord of Prudence is a generous card in many respects…..it covers periods of development and learning. It’s a strong card for inner development, promising expansion and exciting growth. But it does clearly warn that we need to pay special attention to what is going on around us, to rest and take care of ourselves, to ensure that we remain alert for important opportunities. The 8 of Pentacles tells us the mysteries of proper management of energy – this is energy of all types – love, money, knowledge, health. It describes for us the art of putting in what we need in order to get out what we desire – balance and harmony both being watchwords.

So on a day ruled by the Lord of Prudence, we need to enjoy our lives, and to enrich them in as many ways as possible. We need to be thoughtful about how we expend energy, making every single move count. We also need to be aware of what is coming back to us from other people. Allow yourself to be alert for good opportunities and happy consequences. Let yourself learn from day to day events. And let life talk to you. This card can also show the need for meticulous attention. People who are painstaking are often dismissed as nit-pickers, but their extra effort ensures everything is as it should be. It’s a matter of caring – taking the time to check the little details. Now is not the time to be slipshod or casual. Look for errors, and tie up loose ends. The key to success is an extraordinary effort. Whatever your task, the Eight of Pentacles tells you to give it your all in every way.

Portable Magic: The second stage in the action of the charm, once an object has been located, is its acquisition. For this an appropriate card is the Eight of Pentacles, titled the Lord of Prudence. It signifies wise handling of money, and also the finding of hidden wealth or objects. In general, the suit of Pentacles is suitable for material acquisitions. This card presides over the first decanate of Virgo, ruled by the astrological planet the Sun. It is also linked with Mercury in Hod. The appearance of Mercury again in this second card is auspicious for the purpose of the charm. Virgo signified prudent management of resources.

Portable Magic: wished to revive Rosicrucianism as an active esoteric school embracing all the major occult currents of the Western tradition, among them Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, the Tarot, and the Kabbalah, and sought to use these ancient teachings in the daily practice of ceremonial magic. They were bold enough to extend their teachings to both men and women, a practice uncommon in the tradition of Freemasonry.

Psychic Abilities : Should you choose a three card spread, then you will be looking at the past, the present and the future in your reading. The way that you lay the cards out is also important, as with this spread, they should be moving away from you. The card that is near your body represents what is happening in your past, and the card farthest from you is about your future.
