There's no colour in this card until you look very closely and notice that there is a tiny rainbow coloured border around the whole image and each coin or pentacle also has a tiny bit of colour bordering it.
The image is a beautiful one, and from this deck, I'd expect nothing else .
A spider sits in the centre of her web and down each side of the card are 8 pentacles or coins, perfectly balanced; 4 on each side.
8s to me, relate to Justice. They are cards of balance; Universal balance and speak of cause and effect and harvest. These cards are the cards that show the results of our previous actions. They say that what we get out of something will be equal to what we put in - they are balanced or show movement or stillness to achieve that balance.
The number 8 itself is a lemniscate turned on it's side. It shows continuous movement and balance around a central point.. Infinite and without end.
So, I can obviously also see the RWS influence of this card - the spider has worked hard on this web, she has paid attention to the repetitiveness of her task and to the tiny details and she has ended up with something of great beauty but mainly with something that has a use and is good at what it was designed for. She has created something that works for her - the perfect trap.
She also sits, balanced, right in the centre of the web and the coins on either side are in perfect balance too...
Going along with those interpretations, I can also see that the 8 is a card of decisions, weighing up the physical and material aspects of a situation to get an answer and a desired outcome.
