Going through the motions, or perfectionism instead of finishing.

In love

Working at it. Relationships are also a practice.

Do the reps. This is the card for the unglamorous middle.

Where this card comes from

The Golden Dawn gave every card a planet, a sign or an element, and the Rider–Waite–Smith deck was drawn to that system. That zodiac is tropical. This site’s astrology is sidereal, roughly 24° away, so Eight of Pentacles being Sun in Virgo describes the card and not your chart.
