Daedelus stands next to a column on which are mounted six pentacles. Queen Pasiphae offers him a seventh pentacle for a job she’d like done. He scratches his chin in thought. A white bull stands behind the Queen.

Overview
a difficult decision
material security and favor has been gained in the workplace
having worked long and hard to gain one’s current position
recovering from the setbacks of the 5 Pentacles
the need to decide between the security that one has already built and the uncertainty of a new direction whose success is unknown
making the safe choice, which may lead to stagnation and “divine retribution”, or choosing something that’s risky, dangerous and immoral although it has potential for one to grow one’s skills
when success is achieved, the ability to take chances is often lost, and there may be a limit to what one can accomplish through one channel alone
a possible change in one’s direction
a creative challenge that’s too good to resist
mid-life crisis
Random Thoughts
the work of the artisan - taking something and turning it into something new (the 6 pentacles that were offered by King Minos are now part of a column)
having rebuilt one’s reputation
proving that another’s faith in one was well-placed
choose your poison
decide who you’re going to piss off
considering betraying someone who has been good to you
thankless person
the consequences of not keeping to one’s word (King Minos not sacrificing the white bull)
kinky sex
allowing oneself to get pulled into someone else’s drama
a warning against being a “bull in a China shop” and/or grabbing the bull by the horns

They keyword/phrase I came up with in my workbook on 14Mar92 was "difficult decisions".
