8♣ - Eight of Clubs
the card of mental power
The Eight of Clubs is one of the three fixed cards. It is endowed with immense mental power, and it is very difficult to convince it to take someone else's point of view. Club Eights often become good lawyers. But they are also highly capable in other areas of intellectual activity. Under the influence of this card, many famous chemists, rocket designers, and nuclear physicists were born. In principle, the Club Eight is able to master any field of knowledge.
The life path of the Club Eight is smooth and pleasant. She can achieve almost anything if she sets a clear goal. Many Club Eights easily achieve wealth and fame. However, they need to make sure that their life flows in balance. For success, they need mental and emotional calm. Club Eights have great psychic energy and can become great healers. Any of the talents of the Club Eight can make her famous, and to ensure that her life is full of successful accomplishments and happiness, she only needs to clearly recognize her goals.
But this stability has certain drawbacks. The main one is that it is difficult for the Club Eight to adapt to a changing situation. Her concepts, ideas, and principles are extremely inflexible. Often she is born with a certain system of principles and does not want to deviate from it one step. However, there will inevitably be a period (or even several periods) in the life of the Club Eight when she will absolutely need to make changes in her worldview. Such periods are difficult, but they are a necessary part of the karma of the Club Eight. Having made the necessary changes in her consciousness, the Club Eight will be reborn, become stronger and happier.
If the Club Eight combines her efforts with the Jack of Hearts or the King of Spades in her work for the benefit of humanity, then very successful and long-term results are possible. For greater success, it is necessary to realize that this work is more important than personal desires.
Club Eights are characterized by favorable marital karma. First, being a fixed card, the Eight of Clubs is less prone to emotional ups and downs than many other cards in the deck. The Four of Spades as the Venus Card also indicates that the Club Eight values stability in family life too highly to exchange it for romantic adventures. However, at some point in their lives, many Club Eights are forced to go through a difficult divorce or separation from a partner. This usually happens when the partner is a Diamond.
This fateful romantic destiny is part of the karma of the Club Eight, a certain debt that needs to be paid for their past actions (often committed in a past incarnation). Due to their fixed nature, the Club Eight experiences changes in life very painfully. The following scenario is characteristic of Club Eight women. At the age of over thirty, a woman enters into a love relationship with a younger Diamond man. A romantic spiritual love flares up between them. And soon the woman realizes that the world is not limited to her rigid intellectual schemes and concepts. She decides to face her thirst for adventure and diverse love experience. And she breaks up with her beloved. This breakup or betrayal helps her move to a new level and break down the outdated scheme.
Sometimes such a change in life is accompanied by secret love affairs. But having been transformed, the Club Eight feels freer in the search for new types of personal relationships that better suit her needs. Club Eight women should not allow love relationships to become more important to them than their professional concerns. Otherwise, they will lose a large part of their power and get entangled in emotional problems.
Club Eight men are drawn to Diamond women, who always bring certain problems into their lives. The Diamond woman is usually the beloved with whom they will have a painful breakup. Club Eight women have more luck with Diamond men. Club Eight men are attractive to Heart women. Club Eights of both sexes get along well with men of their own suit.
Club Eights, belonging to the number of Fixed cards, are extremely inflexible in their perceptions of the world. If some idea has stuck in their head, they can neither change it nor get rid of it. The following story can serve as an example.
The city authorities changed the direction of traffic on two main streets, where traffic had been one-way for over twenty years. A man - a Club Eight - is unable to bear this, he declared that he would never again drive on these streets. To keep his word, he had to take a detour of five miles every time he left the city or returned back. But from his point of view, he made the right choice. After all, he remained faithful to his ideas about the world, although many would consider his decision impractical. For the Club Eight, changing their beliefs is so painful that they are even afraid to think about it.
Many Club Eights are able to live their whole lives without deviating a step from their principles and concepts. As a rule, they are happy and satisfied as long as nothing interferes with them. But sooner or later, they still have to move from their long-occupied place, expand their horizons, and change their views on the world and their own lives. And to complete the process of these changes, the Club Eight may need many years. Due to the Diamond Queen as the Pluto Card, such changes in the life of the Club Eight are often caused by a Diamond person.
Many Club Eight women in the age of 30-40 meet a Diamond man who becomes a catalyst for a complete transformation of their personality for them. Sometimes this can happen earlier, and in some cases it is repeated several times. Usually the transformation process begins with a love adventure, or even with the Club Eight's madly falling in love with a younger Diamond man. The power of her love does not depend on the fact that these relations seem hopeless and impractical at first glance. And although this romance usually does not last long, it has a very serious impact on the life of the Club Eight: she is transformed and enters a world where there are many more opportunities for personal happiness and gaining experience.
With all the talents and abilities bestowed upon them, Club Eights are also doomed to bear their cross. Almost always, sooner or later, they face a serious crisis in life that forces them to change their worldview or habits. To make progress, the Club Eight needs a much stronger shock than most other cards. One could say that God wants us to develop and change. From this point of view, the crises in the life of the Club Eight are a blessing. They help it to surpass its excessively fixed and inflexible nature.
