The magic of numbers. Eight of Wands Tarot Meaning

Tarot is the ancient art of penetrating mystical secrets. Interpreting magic cards is not difficult. It is enough to learn how to interpret the major arcana, as well as the minor secret deck. For example, the card of 8 wands, the interpretation of which depends on the theme of the layout and neighboring symbols.

Suit of Tarot Wands

The entire Tarot deck is divided into two large groups. The first consists of the major arcana. The second is a small secret. This is a group of cards divided into four suits. As in a playing deck, each of the suits relates to a specific area in a person’s life.

So, wands represent the power of the mind and desires. This is an intangible suit. It embodies the beginning of all actions, since before any action a thought is born. Wands correspond to clubs and also symbolize the element of Fire. Signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

This suit is often called scepters, maces, staves. The Wands are the internal energy of the personality, its motivations, aspirations and desire to act. Any action, as well as the desire to create, is under the protection of staves. Inaction also lives here.

But, like any suit, the Wands contain symbols with both positive and negative content. There are also cards that warn the questioner. Having received such a symbol in fortune telling, you should carefully study its meaning and compare it with the situation of interest. One such card is the 8 of Staves Tarot.

Meaning of the Eight of Wands

The meaning of the Eight of Wands can be read in the image on the card itself. The picture shows eight staves flying in parallel. They are aimed at desert areas. There are no people visible on the map.

The wands are not shown in full in the picture. The image itself represents a frozen moment in time. This is today, here and now. In some versions of the deck, the Eight of Wands is depicted as a fence constructed from eight stakes. He blocks the rider's path.

The card points the questioner to the current moment in time. She calls for a solution to the problem. The symbol warns that you should not put things off until the vague future. Act now while the wands are in the air. You urgently need to decide what to do next. The map also shows a pause in business. An event suspended in the air may drag on. It will take some effort to move it.

In some interpretations, the Eight Scepters card indicates the impossibility of solving a problem instantly. She insists that the time for this has not yet come. Everything will come true, but not as soon as we would like. Tarologists indicate a time period of 6-8 months. In an inverted position, the card gives a longer period.

Interpretation in the correct position

All Tarot symbols have two radically different interpretations. What the deck's answer will be depends not only on the interpretation of the symbol, but also on its position in the layout. The same principle is used when reading a layout in which the Eight of Wands Tarot card fell.

Meaning of the correct orientation symbol:

there are more important issues at the moment;
the answer is yes, but the desired will come true in six months;
matters hanging in the air, the inability to make a decision now;
the beginning of changes that the querent has not yet noticed (the wands are thrown);
unexpected luck;
cooperation with a new person;
progress in business, activity;
creativity and its application;
physical activity;
travel and travel, possibly by air;
fate gives the go-ahead for the fulfillment of what is desired;
passion for an endeavor.

In the right position The number eight represents instant inspiration, some kind of insight, and a desire for action. The symbol indicates a favorable outcome of the case if the question concerned a specific event. You may have to wait a little longer to implement it, but the accomplishment will certainly happen.

Eight speaks about the ability to make decisions quickly. It indicates the temperament of the fiery triad, the qualities of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. These are impetuous individuals who want to get everything at once. Impatience and ardor accompany these signs throughout their lives.

Tarot readers advise interpreting the card as a kind of chance. The deck advises to grab luck by the tail and make a decision immediately. The interpretation of the correct Eight has two different meanings. In one case, action will be taken immediately, but it depends on the speed of the querent's reaction. Otherwise, your plan will have to wait.

To understand what meaning relates to the resulting layout, you should consider the adjacent cards. Thus, the Major Arcana Magician that falls nearby indicates that everything depends on the questioner himself. He holds the key to the problem. The Wheel of Fortune, on the contrary, indicates the impossibility of influencing the situation. Fate has prepared for you a kind of kaleidoscope of events where you will be a player, but not an organizer.

Interpretation in an inverted position

In the wrong position, the Eight of Staves has a slightly different interpretation. It is based on the impossibility of resolving the matter right now.

Basic meanings of the inverted symbol:

the answer from the deck is positive, but the plan will not be realized earlier than in a year;
jealousy and suspicion, quarrels, violence;
an obstacle on the way to your plans;
response delay;
it is necessary to reduce the speed;
impulsivity and loss of control;
unexpected events, job loss, loss of material assets;
bad news;
consequences of hot decisions;
The time for what was planned has not yet come.

In the wrong position, the card indicates the inability to act. The reason for this will most likely be external influence.

Sometimes such a card speaks of an already made, but rash decision. Conclusions were drawn hastily and the possible risks were not weighed. The opportunity was already one step away from you, but you missed it. Sometimes haste does not lead to anything good. This meaning is especially reinforced by the Jester standing nearby in the layout. Justice nearby indicates games with the law. Sooner or later you will have to answer for what you have done.

Analysis of personality and consciousness

The Eight of Staves indicates a person who is personally watched over by fate. This is an inspired, energetic character, who is knee-deep in the sea. He is ready to act instantly. His decisions are often rash, but he often manages to avoid the consequences of his actions.

This character knows how to enjoy life. He is cheerful, active and does not know how to lose heart. In addition to his fiery disposition, the Eight of Wands person is enterprising and active. He grabs every opportunity to prove himself. Luck is always on his side. He is literally shrouded in mysterious luck. In some versions of the deck, the image shows a person who is surrounded by a ghostly serpent, protecting him from flying staves.

Reversed card represents a person who is confused in himself. He is often depressed. Indecision poisons the life of this character, who cannot sensibly assess the essence of the problem, confining himself to it.

The slowness of this person is not a character trait, but a forced behavior. Obstacles along the way are perceived too sharply, and decision-making is delayed for a long time. There is also a lack of conflict in a person, since he simply does not dare to sort things out, being unsure of himself.

Fortune telling for career and finances

In a work scenario, not only the card that is drawn matters, but also its position. In such fortune telling, the answer of the same symbol in different orientations can be radically different.

Correct Eight of Staves

In a career reading, the Eight of Wands has a positive meaning. It indicates a willingness to deal with emerging problems as well as an innovative approach. There is a positive trend in existing cases. There is an opportunity for fruitful cooperation.

Some cards slightly change the meaning of the Eight, but its interpretation still remains favorable. For example, Death indicates the end of a certain stage and the beginning of a new activity. In a familiar environment, this could be a promotion up the career ladder. The Emperor talks about the prospects of the business and the long-term nature of the contracts.

Irregular Eight Clubs

In the wrong orientation, the Eight of Wands card indicates interference in activity. This can be either external influence, circumstances, or lack of time, excessive haste.

The deck encourages you to stop and consider the situation more carefully. Rash actions can lead to a dead end. Strengthens the meaning of the Hanged Man layout next to the Eight of Staves. The World card warns of an influential person whose help will harm business. You should not acquire dubious assistants.

Schedule about relationships and love

As with other readings, there are two main meanings for the 8 of Wands Tarot card. The meaning in a relationship is determined by the position of the symbol relative to the questioner.

Correct orientation of the lasso

In the correct position, the Eight indicates the rapid emergence of feelings. Most likely, this is an instant love that happened at first sight. There is also sexual attraction.

In a longer period of time, the symbol speaks of a certain renewal of feelings. A return to old attachments or renewal of existing relationships is possible.

In a situation question, the symbol represents conflict resolution and compromise. The quarrel will be resolved safely.

Reverse map orientation

The Eight of Wands (reversed) represents the pressure of one partner on the other. These are attempts to subjugate the chosen one with the help of moral manipulations. Artificial incitement of quarrels, jealousy and surveillance. One of the partners tries to turn the relationship into a struggle, without excluding physical influence.

Neighboring maps can help in interpretation. Thus, the Eight of Cups speaks of an unwillingness to correct the situation and fight for feelings. There is an incorrect understanding of the actions of the ally and a false assessment of the relationship. The Seven of Cups indicates trust, which is not backed up by anything other than words.

Health question

The interpretation of the Eight of Staves on the issue of health is ambiguous. A person has enormous potential and a desire for activity, but at the same time he acts without rest, which can lead to exhaustion. Chronic fatigue awaits him almost around the corner. You should pay more attention to the rest period, weighing your plans and capabilities.

Arkan speaks of a hormonal surge. Perhaps a powerful surge of adrenaline pushes a person to take swift action. A reversed card indicates the inability to resist stress. A person's will is weak, and his endurance is on the verge.

Combination with the Major Arcana

The cards surrounding the Eight of Wands will help clarify any layout. The major arcana especially enhance the significance of it in fortune-telling.

Interpreting Tarot cards is not difficult. The main assistant to a novice tarot reader will be intuition. It is recommended to write down the result of the layout and analyze it after some time.

Attention, TODAY only!

KEYWORDS: Mercury in Sagittarius; clear, direct, fast communication; overcoming misunderstandings.

"Swiftness" is a card for overcoming obstacles that stand in our way (as shown in the Five of Wands). The blockage, represented by a square, now transforms into a large polished crystal, shimmering with the colors of the rainbow.

If you state your point of view openly, directly and clearly, these obstacles can be transformed. Misunderstanding gives way to clarity. You would find your own inner center and can present your position emphatically and openly (red dynamic arrows radiating from the center). The problem, which until now seemed insurmountable, fades in importance in the background because of your clarity. If you overcome the tendency to hesitate and are willing to call disturbing influences by their names, then you deprive them of their power to limit and hinder you.

The rainbow, a symbol of wholeness, means that the process is coming to an end. You would look back and discover that the difficulties of the past helped bring the learning process to completion.

INSTRUCTIONS: The time has come to determine your position. If you are open and remain centered, the misunderstanding will be cleared up.

QUESTIONS: Is there a person to whom you do not dare openly declare your position?

OFFER: Use this opportunity to open yourself up more to the people who mean something to you. Talk to them or write letters.

STATEMENT: My openness and self-confidence opens the hearts of those I love.

Influx of energy.Promotion.

Advice
Expect good news and favorable changes.

Warning
One swallow does not make spring.

Card of the day
Joy awaits you today. You will receive favorable news, someone will call or send a letter, some unexpected event will occur and the desired changes will come in your affairs. Or at least today will take a happy turn. Change is possible even where things seem to have stalled forever. If you were going to start something new today, then you have a good chance of achieving success sooner than you expected.

General value:The main meaning of this card is time. This is the only one of all 78 cards that clearly indicates that events will occur in the very near future. But it also has a deeper meaning, it shows that something is changing, something is in the air and will come sooner than we expect, and that this process has already begun, even if we have not yet noticed it. At the same time, the Eight of Wands foreshadows mainly favorable events, good news or pleasant surprises.

Job:If we had certain plans or expectations related to work, then they will come true in the very near future; if these were fears, then, alas, they are the ones that will come true. It also says that this process has been preparing for a very long time, and the results are already close, or that its pace has unexpectedly accelerated, so that we urgently need to prepare for its completion, although we assumed that we still have enough time ahead of us. Often this card means unexpected success - in search of a new field, new connections or contracts.

Consciousness: Here the Eight of Wands means that our process of knowledge is accelerating, that something is in the air, and although we will receive information from an unexpected source, it will nevertheless significantly help expand our horizons. This is a living, flexible card, indicating the spontaneous nature of the changes taking place and quite often meaning that frozen, ossified ideas come into motion.

Personal relationships: In terms of personal relationships, it means revitalization and new incentives. This could be the imminent conclusion of a new, unusual fruitful alliance (partnership), or the positive development of an existing alliance. And only if all the other cards in the layout foretell trouble, should we expect unpleasant surprises.

Eight of Staves – Minor Arcana

From the perspective of astrology, the Eight of Staves corresponds to Sagittarius in its first decade. It is ruled by Mercury, which transforms energy into thought. At the same time, he gives an understanding of the fundamental law of struggle and unity of opposites. Under its auspices are the processes that shape the dynamics of thought.

This decade passes under the sign of understanding the natural essence of human nature, the awareness that man is part of nature. This is the kingdom of the element of air, which provides the opportunity for spiritual flight.

Other names for the Eight of Wands: Eight of Wands, Lord of Speed.

Brief description of the Arcana: Imminent events, Gifts of fate, Speed of action.

Description of the Eight of Staves

In the classic deck, the Arcanum is represented by eight rapidly flying wands, which, like arrows, are about to reach their target. There are no people on the map, so we don’t see who launched the arrow wands or who they are flying at.

Some decks depict a landscape surrounded by greenery and illuminated by the bright sun. The situation is peaceful, despite the apparent threat from the rapidly rushing wands, but if you react to them in time, see them and make a quick decision, then the threat can be avoided.

In the Tarot of the Age of Aquarius we see a rider flying at great speed towards a fence of eight wands. He sees an obstacle in front of him, but does not turn away from the path. The rider is confident that he will be able to easily overcome this obstacle.

The sacred meaning of the Eight of Staves

The sacred information contained in the Eight of Staves lies in eight wands directed at one target. A person does not see the source from where they came, he sees them at the last moment, when they actually approached. The wands fly rapidly with the force that was inherent in the push. Their speed is enormous, and nothing can move them from their flight path.

The map makes it clear how fast the events taking place in a person’s life will be, and since it is not he himself who launches the wands, you need to understand that the events are “conceived” by someone from the outside.

Mythological correspondence of the Eight of Staves

To understand the meaning of this card, you can take the myth of Icarus, who rapidly gained altitude towards the Sun itself, but his phaeton was burned just as quickly.

The lasso clearly symbolizes Newton, who, completely unexpectedly for himself, having received a sudden blow to the crown of the head with an apple, discovered the law of attraction.

The meaning of the straight Eight of Staves in the layout

This map should always be considered in the environment, since it does not itself determine the vector of events. And yet, more often than not, the Eight of Staves in layouts inspires optimism. It indicates that events will develop so rapidly that a person will not even always be ready for it. This card is favorable because it also indicates that negative events, under the influence of surrounding circumstances, will very soon come to their logical conclusion.

All events will take place in the very near future. The process of their accomplishment has already begun, even if a person does not see it in reality. We can say that ideas are already in the air.

The Eight of Staves also predicts unexpected events, sometimes they can be completely random as unforeseen circumstances. This is a card of gifts from fate - an unexpected resolution of a problem, receiving news, successful and favorable coincidences. If, of course, there are positive Arcana nearby. The Wheel of Fortune (X Arcana) strengthens this card, indicating that very soon an event will occur that can dramatically change life.

The Eight of Staves is an Arcanum symbolizing everything fast. It could even be driving a car fast. But here is its result in the neighboring Arcana. The events that the map brings are uncompromising and too abrupt, a person does not even have time to think about them.

The meaning of the inverted Eight of Staves in the reading

The Reversed Eight of Wands indicates that a person's problems arise due to procrastination. Moreover, she warns that this is not the best moment for any decisive action. As a result, energy may be wasted.

The card also shows a person’s uncertainty and indecisiveness when solving certain problems, and this may well lead to losses. These can also be rash decisions, lost time, which then requires urgent catching up.

The map also shows some disagreements with partners, and they will be brought out into the open, jealousy and envy, criticism and lies. This is a card of confrontation and confrontation.

Everything is complicated by the fact that with such a card, emotions usually get out of control and become completely uncontrollable. People become incompatible and intolerant of each other.

With Justice (IX Arcanum), the Eight of Staves inverted will indicate that you are waiting for troubles that may result in legal proceedings.

Job

In professional scenarios, the Eight of Staves indicates a period of fast, almost rapid action, a period of increased activity. It can also predict the rapid development of some previously stalled project. At the moment, everything that was opposing has been neutralized, and events will develop unexpectedly.

For business, the card shows new opportunities for prosperity, a sharp push towards what is planned. It should be borne in mind that with this Arcana a person will have to make a quick decision; he simply will not have time to think and think about it. The main thing is to have time to do everything that fate throws at you, because this is all the path to success. This is a map of a business related to the introduction of new innovative technologies.

Arkan also indicates receiving an unexpected offer, random favorable coincidences, and significant meetings. The Eight of Posokhov can also indicate an unexpected change of job or even type of activity. The most important thing is that you will have to delve into the nuances very quickly, work well with the team, and study the established rules.

If the layout is made for a team, then Arkan shows a group of specialists, in which everyone in their place does everything clearly and quickly, leading the company to success.

In an inverted position, the Eight of Staves shows slowness, a catastrophic lack of time. She can talk about a situation where a lot of urgent things suddenly pile up, and the possibilities for what to do are limited.

Arcanum can warn that at present, haste and rash decisions can lead to losses, and they can be much more serious than a person could imagine. If the Hanged Man (XII Arcanum) is nearby, then we can talk about problems that will take a person by surprise.

For a team, this card indicates scandals, quarrels, confrontation between employees, and the incompatibility of team members with each other.

Direction of self-development

The Eight of Posokhov in the direction of self-development says that a moment of insight has arrived for a person, which will lead to an expansion of consciousness. This is a map of people to whom new horizons suddenly open up, and, most importantly, they manage to grasp the essence of all incoming information, which is often hidden from understanding by others.

You need to understand that with such a card a person is given a certain freedom, including emotional. He should not withdraw into himself; his path is to move forward under the influence of surrounding circumstances.

A person must be prepared for the fact that some miracles may happen in his life. You need to take them for granted, without getting scared or running away from them.

Inverted, the Eight of Staves indicates that at the moment it is necessary to do everything thoughtfully and slowly, not chase surrounding circumstances and not be afraid of missing out on anything. This is a crucial moment for realizing and studying your nature, and this process cannot be rushed.

Personal relationships

Since ancient times, it was believed that the Eight of Staves speaks of falling in love, which, like a lightning strike, will come suddenly. It can also mean preparing for a wedding, when there is so much to organize that your head is spinning. For a lonely person, it promises a meeting with new love, and this meeting can happen in the most unexpected place for him.

The Eight of Posokhov speaks of the rapid development of relationships, bright and strong feelings, and a hormonal surge. Nobody talks about the depth of feelings, but their brightness and explosive nature will make adrenaline boil in your blood. This is passion, desire for the object of love, quick and beautiful courtship. In essence, the card says that the person is simply caught up in a loud love story.

If the alignment is made for one of the partners, then the Eight of Staves will indicate his selfless devotion and desire to formalize the relationship as soon as possible.

For a union in which feelings have already begun to fade and relationships seem ordinary, the Eight of Staves promises a revival, the introduction of freshness and romance.

The card also shows an unexpected marriage proposal.

In an inverted position, Arcan shows a person who strives to put pressure on his partner. This is enhanced if Strength is rolled nearby in the layout (VIII or XI in some Arcana decks). This combination indicates outbursts of jealousy, provoking scandals due to the fact that a person sees relationships between people in his own way.

In an alliance, the partner, described by the Eight of Staves in an inverted form, turns the relationship into a confrontation, trying to resolve issues from the position of clarifying the relationship, pressure, or even the use of physical force.

Personality characteristics

The Eight of Staves describes an inspired, energetic, emotional person. He loves life in all its manifestations. They say about people like this: “They are in a hurry to live, and they are in a hurry to rejoice.” This person is always in a hurry to do a lot of things, is very active and never gets discouraged.

As a rule, he believes that nothing can be delayed, because life is short, and there is a lot to do. He is always ready to accept surprises from fate, open to everything new and unknown. And what’s surprising is that pleasant surprises usually happen to such people, as if fate were constantly throwing gifts at them. He is, in fact, the darling of fate, although he does not dwell on what he received, but moves on. Everything that is necessary comes into the hands of such a person.

The Eight of Staves person always looks further than others, sees perspectives in everything, knows what to do, and always takes action. This is a fidget who makes the whole world revolve around him.

Inverted, the Eight of Staves describes a person who becomes isolated in problems and sometimes becomes depressed. He is slow, but this slowness is not a character trait, but a forced state due to natural indecision. He is very sensitive to unforeseen circumstances in his life and is not able to make quick decisions when required.

This person is not slow-witted, he simply cannot react quickly, so outwardly he looks inhibited. In communication, he tries to reduce conflicts to nothing, because he is never sure of his victory.

Health

The Eight of Posokhov speaks of increased energy, physical and emotional activity of a person, which ultimately can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome, since such a person is very careless about rest.

This Arcana indicates hormonal outbreaks. Sometimes he can talk about a critical increase in adrenaline in the blood, which ultimately becomes an unbearable load for the adrenal glands.

An inverted Arcana indicates a person’s weak resistance to stress, which certainly bears fruit.

Layout for the situation

When planning a situation, you should understand that all the processes to resolve it have already started, all that remains is to accept everything that happens, quickly respond to events, and the result will be positive. Under no circumstances should you hesitate or be inactive, as this can lead to losses.

The map shows that the event for which the alignment is being made will happen in the very near future. Quite often this happens unexpectedly for a person or in ways not planned by him. You need to be prepared for the surprises of fate.

If the alignment is made for a long-term situation, then we can say that the time has come for its decisive phase. The card indicates that the situation will be resolved favorably if there are no negative Arcana next to the Eight of Staves. They will also tell you in which direction to expect trouble.

In essence, Arkan suggests not to mark time and have time to grab luck by the tail, since it will definitely come.

The Reversed Eight of Staves warns that there will be some unforeseen circumstances in the situation that will delay its resolution. Delays can occur both from the outside and from the person himself due to his indecision, uncertainty and lack of vision of prospects.

If we are talking about a problematic situation, then you need to make it clear to the person that the reason may lie in his rash actions, unfounded decisions, uncertainty and reluctance to act ahead. He tries to go with the flow, without making any efforts to resolve the situation, although without his participation everything may not end in the best way.

Card of the day

The day will be very busy. There will be practically no time left for rest, since events will develop with insane speed. On this day there will be pleasant surprises, news, interesting meetings. The main thing is to do everything in time and not fall off your feet from the activity. You'll have to spin like a squirrel in a wheel.

Inverted, Arkan advises not to take on any business, since on this day self-confidence will go to the side and indecision will take its place. The mood will not be very good, and with such a mood it is better not to do anything at all. It is better to devote this day to rest.

Card of the Year

A year of pleasant surprises, hectic life in a good sense, activity and seething energy. Events will develop at an insane speed, you just need to have time to be in all places at once. But good results will not keep you waiting.

This year you can expect career growth, but an offer may come completely unexpectedly. The main thing is to react quickly and make a decision.

Inverted, Arkan promises delays in business, protracted situations, and slow resolution of all issues. There will be a lack of energy throughout the year.

Arcana Council

You need to look at the world with wide open eyes, go through life looking forward, be on time everywhere and grab the bird of luck by the tail. Success smiles on those who are active and active.

The Eight of Wands of the Tarot in a reading speaks of a favorable time for solving complex problems, and of the dynamics of developments in a favorable direction. If the questioner thinks about long-term plans, then their implementation is already close, or the matter must move from a dead point and move into the decisive phase.

- the only card in the tarot deck that speaks of solving matters in the near future, of accelerating events. The Eight of Staves indicates a change in affairs, faster than expected, or changes that have begun but are not yet visible.

Lack of time to solve problems (nothing gets done on time).

The inverted meaning of the card also speaks of the questioner’s indecision in business and solving problems. Indicates a lack of self-confidence and anxiety. The questioner hesitates in making his decisions.

Envy.
Lie.
Incompatibility of ambitions.
Jealousy.
Confrontation.
Cooling of feelings between spouses.
