Symbolism
Eights in general represent what makes us move, what pushes us forward, serving as our stimulus. Eights are complex to experience, as a person in this arcane spins around and around in the scenario of history and situation. And this isn't always bad. The visual imagery shows that the 8 of Wands and 8 of Pentacles don't carry anything negative. The Eight of Wands is truly a beautiful card. As if someone took a clot of energy and threw it. All the dynamics can be felt. A huge white skull in battle garb and small bright red skulls growing from stems. Who remembers in which arcane such stems already appeared? This is some kind of hymn to life and vitality, an injection of additional energy into our lives. They are like 'snow on the head,' but with a positive impulse. Here's where the energy injection comes from 'from where and why.' Like coals in an almost extinguished fire.
Card's Message
A person in a resourceful state is capable of reaching those goals and achieving what they're afraid to even attempt. One only needs to rush there.
Relationships
This energy injection - what is it? Renewal between two people, or a third person, or if a person is alone, then someone new will burst in. Events develop in an unexpected manner.
Career
Rapid achievement of goals through the paths that the person planned for themselves. The situation will unfold so that everything won't go according to plan, but they will achieve their goals.
Money
Events don't go as the querent imagines. Not necessarily will everything go for the worse - it could go for the better. Things will come through other paths.
Visual Description
The card shows the printed word "WANDS" at the bottom and the numeral "8" in the lower corners. A large human skull occupies the center, its jaw open, pierced by multiple red wooden staves that have flower-like heads and trailing petal- and vine-like fibers. Eight red, rod-like wands streak diagonally across the composition amid swirling green leaves and small yellow buds against a turquoise sky. Petals and leaves tumble through the scene, giving a sense of motion and unrest.
