Eight of Pentacles
Work, work, work—every day the same until hands move themselves. This isn't inspiration, it's discipline. Mastery comes not from talent, but from inability to stop.
Hands tired, and quality starts dropping. Maybe perfectionism consuming you, maybe just lost interest. Diligence without meaning turns to hard labor, and even the most skillful work loses value if you no longer believe in it.
Craftsman mints coin after coin, not from love of work, but because doesn't know how else. Mastery is monotony perfected.
