Eight of Wands

You’ve defended your ground; now, momentum is building rapidly. The Eight of Wands highlights this swift forward trajectory toward progress, be it in career, love or relationships, or other areas where you’re expecting developments or awaiting a decision. This quick turn of events comes with exciting positive news and sudden changes, sometimes hinting at travel or relocation. There’s powerful fire energy and newness associated with this card. Ready yourself for a hectic, action-packed time burgeoning with opportunities from hereon out – and seize them as they come.

Whereas the upright Eight of Wands indicates rapid progress and an uptick in momentum, a reversal implies the opposite. This includes project delays, little to no career advancement, or stagnation or reluctance to take a relationship forward. This lack of movement leaves you demotivated, impatient, or frustrated. This card is a reality check to slow down, reflect, and strategize in case of missteps. Could you have been rushing into things without considering proper timing? Were there instances when you failed to act swiftly, leading to missed opportunities? Where is your energy directed at? Momentum can be leveraged by focused energy – and learning when and how to use it.
