In the 8 of Pentacles, a craftsman sits on his bench focusing on creating eight golden pentacles, increasing both his experience and wealth. Five pentacles appear to be hanging either on a wall or a post for others to see. The town sits in the background while he works diligently and in a measured or progressive manner. His skill is evident and he awaits recognition from potential customers.

Reversed, the 8 of Pentacles can indicate a lack of focus, diligence, or self-discipline that results in failure.

When the 8 of Pentacles appears in a reading, it signals the need to stay focused on the task at hand, whether this involves an apprenticeship or producing a product as a craftsman or business owner.
