The Meaning of the Eight of Wands in the Tarot Card System

Eight of Wands (Eight)

General Meaning

An end to obstacles, plans coming to fruition. Businesslike activity, the need to hurry in order to succeed. A trip, a journey. Favorable events, new opportunities, inspiration. You are making the right decisions quickly, and luck is on your side. Many interesting and useful events are coming in the near future. You are moving toward the right goal. You may be so focused on your work that you do not even notice your own achievements. The Eight of Wands reminds you of your accomplishments. Some important events may happen sooner than you hoped. Fate is favorable to you, and a long string of successful events awaits you.

You are moving toward your chosen goal at great speed. If events had previously stalled and stood still, be prepared now for a very rapid unfolding of events. Everything will happen at breakneck speed. If your question concerned work, you will now climb the career ladder very quickly. Right now is the perfect time to begin a course of treatment or recovery, which is sure to bring good results.

You have gained rich experience, which is now paying off by broadening your horizons. You may receive an urgent message, or an opportunity may arise to travel or relocate somewhere quickly. If your question was about a romantic relationship, this card signifies an unexpected and passionate attraction to the opposite sex.

Meaning in Situations

Travel (short trips, a flight, getting away somewhere for a day). Unexpected changes (in truth, everything has long been pointing toward change, but you are only now noticing it). The need to make decisions in rapidly shifting circumstances.

Work

Improved communication with distant partners. Valuable negotiations (pay attention to the details and the fine print). Solving everyday practical problems. Together with the right cards — a rapid climb up the career ladder. Purposefulness, momentum that cannot be stopped. New prospects. Good turnover, good profits.

Health

Good physical shape. Processes in the body run quickly: a mild illness will pass quickly, a serious one will progress quickly. Look at the neighboring cards: if they are bad, the process will be irreversible; if good — recovery.

Relationships

A relationship developing at high speed. Many brief, fast contacts and connections. Contacts may be renewed. Whatever course the relationship has settled into, that is the outcome it will lead to.

Personality Type

Mobile, agile, industrious. The ability to get one's bearings correctly and make decisions. An otherwise inert person who is able to adapt to circumstances.

Advice and Warning

Advises acting quickly (hurry up). Warns that haste and frivolity are a needless waste of strength. Do not interfere with the process, and do not stray from it.

Yes or No

No certainty, but leaning toward "yes." Events are unfolding rapidly and according to plan. Swift achievement of the goal. Let events run their course.

Reversed Meaning: Meaning in Situations

You may be feeling overwhelmed by how single-mindedly events are unfolding. You are confused and at this moment do not know where to direct your energy. If you start rushing, you will not achieve the desired result. Do not hurry events along, or obstacles may arise that will be hard for you to overcome. If you were planning to travel somewhere, your plans are not destined to come true. Problems may arise during the journey with a plane, a train, or another means of transport.

Delays, opportunities missed because of hold-ups, travel problems: a postponed flight, delayed visas, traffic jams. The process can grind to a halt very quickly.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Things are not moving forward. Postponement of new projects, delays, lost documents, and similar snags in your work. The need for much faster action.

Reversed Meaning: Health

Processes are running slowly. This card does not stand on its own; look at the neighboring cards. Health not at its best.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Resentment, routine, everything stuck without change. There may be minor disagreements. The relationship has reached a dead end.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Inertia, lack of initiative. Difficulty communicating, withdrawal. Slow on the uptake — takes a while to catch on. A person driven forward by circumstances rather than by his own initiative.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Do not rush. Warns: it is too late, you have missed your moment — do not put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

Every possible delay in resolving the question.
