Description of the Tarot deck 8 of Pentacles
The eight of pentacles like the figure eight, also has a form of flower and leaf development.
This Tarot card is one of the Tarot's minor arcana. It can be seen in the same way that the pentacles at the four corners form a square. They thus ensure material life. In the center is a flower and the four other pentacles which themselves form a square within the square.
A way to show a form of dynamism and spirituality. The flower in the centre looks like the flower of the figure eight, but it is more regular. Its centre is circular in the same way but this time there is a cross design.
At the center of matter exists eternity (reference to the divine) and infinity (reference to the infinity of the universe) so the eight of pentacles represent the true wealth that lies within us.
