I. Analyze and describe 8 of Disks Thoth Tarot
In this card, the order is re-established because the disks are arranged in an orderly pattern like the flowers or fruits of a large tree growing on fertile soil. The chaos of the previous card seems to have been overcome because the fruits are placed in the form of Populus “doing without doing”, “achieving results through seclusion”, as Crowley writes, “the waiting for the harvest of the sower”- the sorcerers call this” power through inaction”. Crowley commented, “Virgo is the secret seed of Life, and also the Virgin of the Earth waiting for the Penis which are the Plow and the Population, the recovery of the secret of Energy into the abandoned Earth”.

This card represents self-discipline, careful consideration of the details, devotion, and spiritual understanding of the legitimacy behind the process of all events in nature as well as behind all human actions. High standards bring a person back to balance with creative nature not only requires a pure motivation and unselfish struggle to gain wisdom but also spiritual sensitivity in which chaos and order, destruction and development, creative intelligence and emotional dynamics are not contradictory, but rather support each other to develop.
2. Inner

Instead, we will need humus or green fertilizer which is usually the result of the decay of the previous card (7 of Disks Thoth card).
3. Career

This card, therefore, can describe a carefully considered and planned beginning, as well as careful and moderate growth in larger areas of activity.

Maybe, we have shrunk after a painful and traumatic period and are now carefully opening up again, or it may be that we are deciding on new and deeper steps based on an existing relationship. Cards sometimes refer to wedding planning and having children. In any case, it shows a welcome development.
