If a reading contains many Coins, it signifies that the querent will feel that situations are taking form. Eights in a reading are generally very positive and represent positive changes. There is a focus on the building of foundations for future success. The querent will be justified in having high hopes for the future as present situations and ventures are going well and the outlook is good. The querent will have worked hard to create this state of affairs, and continued hard work will be required. The Eight of Coins in a reading represents work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill, business and a bright future.
When the tarot Eight of Coins appears in the reversed position in a reading it represents vanity, exaction, a lack of ambition, avarice and greed. The querent may desire financial rewards but lacks the skill and ambition at this time to achieve it. The querent should be wary of seeking dishonest means of finding financial success as it could lead to spiritual impoverishment if others suffer as a result.
The querent should not lose interest or involvement in other areas of his or her life and should be wary of becoming obsessed with the venture. Friends and those close to the querent may start to feel unneeded and seek fulfillment elsewhere if they are neglected.
