Does he think I'm worthy of being his pa

Card: Eight of Pentacles, upright in current guidance.

He doesn't think in "worthy / not worthy." He thinks in *is this person showing up and building something.* If you've been consistent in your own life — visible growth, effort, follow-through on what you say — he likely reads you as someone worth standing next to. If what he's mostly seen so far is vibe and signal without bench time, the tilt goes the other way, and that's not about your value as a person. It's about whether he's had the chance yet to see the work.

The Eight isn't a love card — it's a craftsman's card. It says the way he measures partnership is closer to who shows up at the bench every day than to a feeling. That's actually useful for you: you don't have to perform. You have to be visibly in motion.

One step you can take this week, no confession, no test: pick one thing you're actively building — work, study, a project, a practice — and let it be more visible. Not posted at him, not performed. Just *more in motion* in your actual life. His eye is the kind that notices the bench, not the photo of the finished piece.
