    Work / Education – The Eight of Pentacles cardin regards to work or education means continued success and growth. Expect promotions and a developing, more advanced workload. If you work with others, you may go into a leadership position. As said, be sure to follow your passions and your own goals, not what others expect of you.

    Romance – The Eight of Pentacles in romance is a very good sign. A current relationship will greatly deepen; not through any event, but through continued understanding and shared experience.

    Friends – The Eight of Pentacles tarot card in regards to friendship means things are going well. Don’t expect any arguments or gossip now or in the near future. It might be a good time to get into some deep conversations with your friends and get to know them better or help them out with something that they need assistance on.

    Money – The Eight of Pentacles in regards to finances is another good sign. Don’t expect to come into some money, but do expect to see increased savings by cutting out what you don’t need, or finding better deals on things you already buy. Continue working as you are, and don’t even consider money a worry right now.

    Health – The Eight of Pentacles tarot card is mixed when placed for health. it isn’t a bad sign if you’re in ill health. Expect a long recovery, however. What’s really important is that you may really need to consider a lifestyle change. Stop going for the easy option in this aspect and put some effort in to treat yourself better. The only excuse for not eating well and taking care of yourself is laziness. Now might be a good time to start and stick to a diet or exercise regime. If you are considering something new like vegetarianism or veganism, it might be worth jumping in and dedicating yourself to it.

    Spirituality and Mentality – The Eight of Pentacles in spirituality means that now might be a good time to consider the future in general, and how you are going to play your part.
