Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: The offspring of a sculptor father and a midwife mother, Socrates developed what we now call the Socratic method of leading his students to wisdom. Instead of imparting information, Socrates asked penetrating questions that provoked his students to come up with their own answers. Following his mothers lead, Socrates viewed himself as a midwife of the mind, opening passages through which the knowledge inherent in the human soul could emerge into the light of day. As we follow his lead in seeking wisdom, it is useful to record thoughts and reflections in a journal.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Eight of Pentacles suggests that you may not be putting in the needed time and effort to do a job well. Maybe you dont care about producing a quality product, or maybe you are cutting corners just to get the job done. Remember that Rome wasnt built in a day. Although there may be a short-term gain in your current approach, in the long run you are likely to feel a sense of dissatisfaction. When the storm arrives, its comforting to know you have put something away for a rainy day.

Reversed Cards: The Eight of Pentacles is ruled by the sun. As we know, the sun doesnt have a retrograde cycle, nor does it go backward in any way, shape, or form. It does, however, eclipse, flare up, and change its intensity with the seasons. It also disappears at night, meaning it allows for rest. If you have received the Eight of Pentacles in the retrograde aspect, it may be time to take a break. Stop burning and blazing for a moment and rest. Turn out the lights and let the darkness embrace you as you allow your body to regenerate before the sun comes up once again.
