I thought I'd focus on the meaning of the 8 of Coins in a relationship today. The energy of this card asks 'What can I do to ease my partner's burdens?'. It's one of the most selfless cards in the deck.

Perhaps you could give your partner a back rub, offer to make him a cup of tea or just be there for him when he tells you about his day at work... How long has it been since you cooked her favourite meal or left her a love note where she least expected to find it?

These little tokens of affection make us feel appreciated, safe and loved, and help us open up emotionally. They lead to greater intimacy on all levels and cost so little.

If the card is reversed it could mean a lack of care and/or empathy for self and others. Depending on the position in the spread, it could also mean that someone around you isn't willing to meet your needs.

The astrological correspondence is the Sun in Virgo.
