Okay, so I wanted to figure out this whole Tarot thing, and I started with a simple “yes or no” question. I grabbed my deck and focused on the “8 of Pentacles” card because I’d heard it was a good one for work and getting stuff done. I was curious if it really leaned towards a “yes” answer.
My Little Experiment
First, I cleared my head – or at least tried to! I shuffled the deck a bunch of times, thinking hard about a specific question: “Will this project I’m starting be successful?”. It was something I really cared about, so I wanted a clear answer.
Then, I cut the deck and pulled out the top card. Boom! There it was, the 8 of Pentacles, all upright and looking promising. It shows this guy totally focused on making these coins, right? So, I took that as a pretty good sign.

Digging a Little Deeper
I didn’t want to just take it at face value, so I did some reading. Most of what I found said the upright 8 of Pentacles is all about dedication, hard work, and getting really good at something. It’s like, you’re putting in the effort, and you’re going to see results. That’s definitely a “yes” vibe in my book.

- I draw a card from the deck.
My Takeaway
Based on my little experiment and what I read, I’m feeling pretty good about this 8 of Pentacles card for a “yes” answer. It’s not just a random “yes,” though. It’s more like a “yes, if you’re willing to put in the work.” It’s about earning that success, which, honestly, makes it feel even more solid. This card reminded me that good things come from focused, the consistent efforts. So, for now, I’m taking this as a green light to keep pushing forward with my project!
