Card: Eight of Pentacles
If stegosauruses were people they would be quiet workers, wouldn't talk much just the occasional greetings and you'd always see them hard at work. If there's a lesson to be learned from them, it's stability, taking grounded steps forward, doesn't matter if it's big leaps or smaller but practical steps. In Chinese we have this idiom 脚踏实地 (translates literally to feet stepping on practical grounds) meaning down to earth and that's a very suitable way to describe these creatures.
Mental-wise they didn't think much, there was little room for advanced thought beyond the routines of food and getting away from predators. I did see a vision of two or three stegosauruses nestling closely at night sleeping and one of them (a younger one) looked up at the sky to admire the shining stars. That look in its eyes was mesmerising.
