The 8 of Wands show 8 rods or staves flying swiftly through the air, quickly heading to their destination. Each of the 8 Wands have 3 small sprouts beginning to bloom which represent growth and progress. All of the 8 wands are pointed in exactly the same direction, and their momentum is only increasing as they head downward.

The background of the 8 of Wands show a clear and perfect day, with not a single cloud in the sky. Nothing can impede the progress of the 8 Wands, and nothing detracts from their focus in this tarot card. The only noticeable details are the lush green hills, and calm serene river flowing underneath. A house sits atop a hill in the distance, overlooking the countryside. I believe this elevated position is the same one the young man was defending from attackers in the 7 of Wands. This further suggest that the struggle is over, the competition is complete, and the focus is solely on forward progress.
