Card 29 • wands

Eight of Wands

Brief Description

All the ducks are in a row and ready to fly; events have been set in motion and are moving quickly toward an outcome that should not be a surprise because it is the logical conclusion. Whatever steps have been taken will continue on, perhaps faster than anticipated, and should achieve the intended effect. Trying to stop things now could work but would cause utter chaos, so the practical advice is to step back and let things play out. Reversed, the Eight of Wands indicates chaos, confusion, and delays.

Visual Description

Eight long, gold-tipped wands streak diagonally across a bright blue sky, each spearhead decorated with red diamond faceting. Two pale, outstretched hands appear on the left as if releasing or reaching toward the flying wands. Below, a green rolling landscape with a small house on a hill overlooks a winding river or lake, and soft white clouds dot the sky. The card border shows the Roman numeral VIII at the top.
