With a protective spread of her wings, an owl watches over the eight eggs in the nests below her. In Thoth-speak, the Eight of Disks is a caution to be prudent; patience, attention and care are needed at this point. The Lenormand Moon, however, signals positive recognition and honor for one's work, but those eggs haven't hatched yet. It would be easy to get distracted by fantasies, imagining all the good fortune that's about to come our way. Yet if we take our focus away from the task at hand, that future might not be very rosy at all. Apply oneself now, and the rewards will come later.
A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them. ~Liberty Hyde Bailey
