Meaning

This card means travel or freedom.

Tarot Reading

The Eight of Wands is one of the few small cards without characters and story scenes. This card seems hard to read, but its meaning is equally clear. A river crosses the vast green meadow, and eight scepters are arranged parallel to each other over the river. The wands are inclined as if they have a tendency to tap the river. This is reminiscent of Moses’ wand, which symbolizes the start and end of all actions. Before the action, everyone is thinking, imagining, guessing, lobbying, full of fantasies. The Eight of Wands means that now is the time to express yourself. Do not hesitate, all the elements are in place. Everyone should strike while the iron is hot, and once the action starts, it will move fast. Things are developing, just like a hurricane rolling people up, the dust will soon settle down, and the results will soon show up.

There is a bright future ahead of this job, and it may develop faster than you expect, so you should seize this opportunity and perform well at this time.

You are so playful that you don’t want to study at all and wish to run away every day. If you don’t calm down and study as soon as possible, the situation will become more and more difficult to remedy.

Speaking of study, you need to set a clear goal, and then make a plan to study hard. Never just be briefly enthusiastic, then you are likely to give up without learning anything.

This relationship is full of quarrels and disharmony, which actually brings pain rather than happiness. You don’t necessarily want to break up right away, but you’re getting unbearable.

There is still the possibility of you two getting back together. But even if you do decide to have a reunion, you will still be arguing all day long, so it would be better to separate.

You are going through some economic difficulties, and you should be more conservative and pragmatic. You can’t keep investing money without regard to reality just because you see a possible future gain.
