The 8 of Pentacles represents the energy of mastery. From this position, we can see how we have evolved from once being the novice and student into now being a professional in our field.
The 8 of Pentacles reminds us that in order to be a master in our field, it is not enough to just complete our apprenticeship and learning. Mastery is achieved through practicing our craft a 1000 times over. It is also recognizing that we must maintain our skills by always learning more and expanding.
When we started as the apprentice, we needed to learn from the experience and knowledge of the teachers and experts that came before us. An apprentice is shaped in this way until they have learned to master their skills. However, there comes a point where we need to recognize that we have come as far as we can with what we can learn from others, and now it is about expanding into our own unique expression of our skills that extends from the knowledge and experience we have cultivated up until this point.
Another facet of this cards offers a chance to see that we are ready to concentrate in a more specialized way with our craft. Now that we have achieved a foundation of knowledge and experience with what we have already learned, we can expand by fine tuning our skills and directing our energy into a specialized area that will take us in the direction of becoming an expert in a specific expression of our profession.
Overall, the 8 of Pentacles asks us to see we have graduated from apprentice to professional. It encourages us to keep working and learning so that we can master our skills and find our own unique expression and calling. Through the fine tuning of our skills and our continual practice, we will find our own unique contribution to our field that will eventually take us to becoming a leader, expert and teacher.
