Alright, let’s talk about them eights in them tarot cards, you know, the ones them fancy folks use to tell fortunes. I ain’t no expert, mind you, just a plain old woman who’s seen a thing or two, and I’ll tell ya what I think about them eights.
First off, we got that Strength card, number eight it is. Now, this one, it’s all about having guts, you know? Bein’ brave like a rooster in a hen house. It means you got the power to get things done, like chasin’ a chicken out of the garden. You’re strong, you can handle stuff. But if it’s turned upside down, well, that ain’t good. Means you might be bossy, pushin’ folks around too much, or maybe you just ain’t got the strength you need. Like tryin’ to pull a stubborn mule, sometimes you just ain’t gonna win.
Then there’s the Wheel of Fortune, another number eight. This one’s about luck, good or bad, like the weather, it changes all the time. Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down, that’s just how life is, like plantin’ seeds, sometimes they grow, sometimes they don’t. If it’s right side up, good things are comin’, maybe you’ll win the lottery, or find a five dollar bill on the road. But if it’s turned around, well, it still means things are changin’, maybe even too much good stuff, like eatin’ too much pie, you get sick of it after a while. It’s all a cycle, you see, up and down, round and round, like that old wheel on the well.
- Now, I heard tell there are other eights too, like in them wands and cups and swords and them other things. I don’t know much about them, but I reckon they all mean somethin’ similar.
- Like that eight of Wands, that’s about gettin’ things movin’ fast, like a wildfire, things are happenin’ quick.
- And the eight of Cups, that’s about walkin’ away from somethin’, maybe somethin’ you don’t need no more, like throwin’ out old shoes, you gotta make room for the new.
- Then there’s the eight of Swords, that’s like bein’ stuck, not knowin’ what to do, like a fly caught in a spiderweb. You gotta figure a way out.
- And the eight of Pentacles, that’s about hard work, puttin’ your nose to the grindstone, like workin’ in the fields all day, you gotta put in the effort to get somethin’ out.
So, when you see them eights in them cards, don’t you go gettin’ all flustered. Just remember what I told ya. Strength is about bein’ brave, Wheel of Fortune is about luck and changes, and them other eights, well, they’re about things movin’ fast, walkin’ away, bein’ stuck, or workin’ hard. It ain’t rocket science, it’s just life. And them cards, they just a way of lookin’ at it.
And don’t forget, these cards, they ain’t set in stone. They just give you an idea, a nudge in the right direction. You still gotta make your own choices, like decidin’ what to cook for dinner, ain’t no card gonna tell you that. Life’s a journey, and them cards, they’re just a little map, helpin’ you along the way. But remember, you’re the one holdin’ the map, you decide where you gonna go.
Now, if you ask me, all this card readin’ and fortune tellin’, it’s a bit of fun, but don’t take it too serious. Life’s gonna throw you curveballs whether you like it or not. Best thing you can do is just roll with the punches, like a good boxer in the ring, keep your chin up and keep movin’ forward. That’s what I always say, you just gotta keep on keepin’ on, cards or no cards. Life’s like a river, it keeps flowin’ whether you want it to or not, you just gotta go with it.
So, next time you see them eights, you just remember what this old woman told ya. Be strong, be ready for change, and don’t be afraid to work hard or walk away when you need to. And most importantly, don’t forget to laugh, life’s too short to be serious all the time. You gotta enjoy the little things, like a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning, it’s the simple things that make life worth livin’. That’s the real fortune, right there.
