If you are looking to get things done and feel productive, then this is your card. I count it among my very favorites. You can make good use of it today, provided you do not try to promise more than you can accomplish. Mercury and Jupiter will be facing off in Capricorn and Cancer, and in this position Jupiter can get you into trouble if you take on too much. However, what you can do is take your To-D0 List and work at it methodically, hammering out the details and finer points which Jupiter would tend to overlook. Very often when you see the 8 of Pentacles it is necessary to find a quiet space to work or even burn the midnight oil until the job is complete. 

The 8 of Pentacles is a card indicative of hard work, focusing on the details of the task-at-hand, burning the midnight oil to get the job done, and really applying yourself to your projects while shutting out all distractions. For earliest possible access to my Tarot Card of the Day, download the free PodBean app from your AppStore, or follow me across your favorite podcast platforms.
