The 8 Of Wands represent forward momentum, accelerated progress, and fast results. Things are moving quickly in your life when the 8 of Wands appear, and the energy you're feeling now is working in your favor. The competition and envy that others were directing your way in the 7 of Wands has dissipated, and your position is now secure. What you're focusing on right now is heading in the right direction, and at an accelerated rate. The world is your oyster!

Wands, rods, or staves are one of 4 suits in the Minor Arcana, and correspond with the suit of clubs in a traditional playing card deck. The suit of wands is associated with the element fire of theĀ 4 elements and represent a fiery intensity and inner drive to succeed. There's a strong masculine characteristic to this suit, which means competition and courage are obvious in many Wand tarot readings. A desire to be heard, understood and praised all correspond to the suit of wands in tarot.

8 Of Wands Meaning & Description

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.

Dreaming Way Tarot Deck

The 8 Of Wands Reversed can suggest that you're in a rut, or feeling confused about which direction to take. You could be feeling unmotivated and like your losing steam, unable to see a project to completion. This causes frustration and leads to a momentum heading in the opposite direction, almost like you're going backwards. You might be taking on too many projects at the same time when the 8 of Wands Reversed appear. This makes you unable to give complete attention toward your definite major purpose. Take time to reflect on where, or what you're directing your energy toward, and if it's really the best use of your time.

Don't start something if you aren't willing to see it through, or just give up at the first sign of hardship. Bouncing from one idea to the next is like starting a puzzle, finding the corners, and then dumping a new puzzle on top of the old pieces. Nothing gets accomplished this way, and makes you want to give up even sooner on your next endeavor.

This will not only help prevent stagnation and complacency, but open you up to new perspectives and ideas! Do not get discouraged if you encounter a difficult situation, but power through and start building that forward momentum again.

Consider putting a few dollars aside to prepare for if/when life circumstance change, and you find yourself in a different position.
