The 8 of Hearts has roots in both games and fortunes. It borrows from the parrot's playbook, a bird with the mystical knack for echoing human speech and delivering wisdom with a squawk. Like the parrot, this card asks you to tune into your quirky instincts as you tally up the coins in your material world. Here’s the kicker: be honest about the price you're willing to pay for the deep, soul-stirring connections in your life. The next time you spot a bird, whether in the wild or in art, let it be a feathery reminder to stay mindful and always grateful.
