Thoth 8 of Disks-Prudence:
The 8 of Disks represents talent, skill, craft, learning, and practical ideas being turned into a profitable profession and is ruled by the 8th Sephiroth-Hod-Splendor.The card itself symbolizes the harvest tree where hard work and skill have become fruitful and now you only need await the ripening of the harvest. This has been called the Master’s card, as mastery of a skill is depicted here; Skillful manipulation of physical material with talented fingers along with prudent thoughts and the wisdom to coordinate both.
At the top of this colorful card is the Sun sign and at the bottom of the harvest tree is the astrological sign of Virgo. Virgo reminds us that by attending to details and utilizing our organizational skills, we shall repeat the just harvest. Trust in your skills is the foundation of this harvest rather than the need for control; only a deep abiding trust in your skills will reap the just reward as harvest follows the ordered skill of the prudent mind.Prudence and wisdom are qualities of patient skill, not pushing to make things happen nor holding back or resisting. The coins have blossomed, the patient skill of wisdom and prudence has prevailed and the successful harvest is shown by the protective leaves that hold back chaos. There is no place for doubt in this card it is a manifested Trust of skill.
Again, the Thoth 8 of Disks is called PRUDENCE. Disks are Pentacles or Coins, in other decks. However Disks is an appropriate symbol, something on which Crowley and I both agree. Disks must be stabilized by a spinning motion, a circular rotational force, in order to hit their mark. Even the atoms of rocks are spinning in a centrifugal manner, so when representing the earthly powers, the spinning of the Disk, with its internal spin best shows force and form as one presence in the crystalline light, again showing us that solids are just illusions of electric motion held within a magnetic vessel.
The 8 of Disks-Prudence, is Hod in Assiah, the material World. The Sun is in Virgo and the angels of this Decan are; Akaiah and Kehethel.

Number 8 Meaning - Affinity Numerology
Virgo is noted to be a very practical sign which tends to cause over-concern with small details.
Because this is an 8, any gain that prudence gives is mostly material, making Prudence no great spiritual virtue; However, it shows great mental focus. Hence, often the message in divination, is that of skill, prudence, and over-carefulness about small things, at the expense of the larger. But because Hod is represented by Mercury and Mercury is exalted in Virgo, there is also predilection for intelligent loving, involving material matters such as, agriculture, artistic craftsmanship, and engineering. The Ruler ship of the Sun in Virgo suggests birth, as well, thus the disks are arranged in the Gemantic figure Populus. These disks are then shown as flowers of a Great Tree, rooted solidly in fertile lands.
the tarot of the spirit-eight of earth- the Mountain
The Tarot of The Spirit- Eight of Earth-The Mountain, also stressed prudence, perseverance, commitment and discipline as the keys to success. At the bottom of the card are the glyphs for the Sun and Virgo. When this card shows up, it implies that this is a good time to be a attentive student, learning how to climb that mountain to success.
This card implies that the fundamental path of the Earth is as a mountain. Here, the pentagrams are all upright, the dark pyramid of the past seems to have blasted off into the future. All energy of earth is on an upward path and shaped as a cone of power and/or the conical shape of the energy and force of the magicians. The vortex of gray clouds, represent the simultaneous flow of wisdom coming down from Chokmah. Hence, the simultaneous ascent and descent of power is observed.
The 4 elements are in perfect balance at the top of the pyramid, heralding the potential of the individual in its actual state. Where upon, this is the path of the observer who upon arriving at the summit, receives the knowledge of the pure white light and/or mastery of one's skill.

- A moment of creative birth of 8 weeks or 8 months, requiring the practice of physical caution, carefulness, and prudence.
