You have chosen the Devil and the 8 of Pentacles. It is time to look at your status and reputation and to look at the materialistic side of life. Perhaps you have felt driven by work, for you are someone who is used to working extremely hard as you're probably someone who is self employed. In fact, you always earn your money via your skill. You're good at working alone and you've trained to do something. You've learned to do something completely on your own which involves great skill. You are able to create and carve out your own future. Perhaps it is time for you to make an investment and bring someone else into the picture. Maybe you need more help, for you've been tempted to be a bit of a workaholic and driven by work. It has made you feel good about yourself, but it has also been a bit of a bind, a bit of a bondage situation where you have felt trapped by being a victim of your own success. Maybe you feel that you do not want to take that kind of risk where someone else is working for you, but you know in your heart of hearts that you must. You cannot go on working this hard; you're missing out on so many variable aspects of life. Perhaps your social needs are not being met, or your emotional needs with friends and family. It is important that you become back in balance and harmony and do not feel the ties that bind to work take over your complete life. It has become a habit that you've become used to and you've been afraid to turn down any work for fear that it might not be there next week, and after all, who would do it; but it is making you feel that you're a bit of a martyr and that you feel sorry for yourself for you are simply tired. It is time to look at a fresh outlook and say that help is needed. All big empires have staff and you may not see that you are something like that, but if they need help why shouldn't you? Even if it's someone that only comes in on a part time basis, they can take over some of the pressure, not matter how small, even if it isn't directly associated with what you do. They may be able to take on one of the jobs that you don't get enough time to put your full effort into. Take matters into control by making a decision to not being a slave to your own success
