Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up for you at this exact moment.
MEANING: Whether you’re in the mood to put your “nose to the grindstone” or not, the reversed 8 of Coins tells you that in order to be successful and happy in the near future, you are going to have to play your part. Everyone fantasizes about “get rich schemes,” but the truth is, as they say, there is no free lunch. Do your part. You will be glad that you did.
Work: Be prepared to impress prospective employers with what a hard worker you are/can be, and be prepared to back up your statements. If you are already employed, it’s possible that you may be asked to do more than is humanly possible. Give it your best and then some; before you will be given help, you are likely to have to show that you are doing 110% and it’s not possible for one person to do all that needs to be done. Trying to avoid tasks, now, however, can get you fired.
Love: The reversed 8 of Coins 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 fulfiling 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.
Finances: The reversed 8 of Coins can warn us about being slightly delusional about money. There’s no harm in dreaming, but don’t count on the lottery to fix your financial problems. Be willing to work. Be patient. They say “good things come to those who wait” but it should really be “good things come to those who work – and wait.” Nearly every “overnight success” was actually years in the making.
Health: Do some work and take some action in order to improve your health status. There is always something that can be done. If you don’t know what to do to improve your general health, or if you are having worrying symptoms that you don’t know how to fix, don’t hesitate to seek help from a medical professional. Ignoring things does not lead to healing.
Spirituality: The reversed 8 of Coins, again, urges some action even in the context of a spiritual question. This is not the time for quiet contemplation, if you are seeking spiritual growth, this is a time for taking steps, meeting new people, trying new approaches, going places, and opening yourself up – all of which “takes work.” You can do it and the benefits can be enormous.
