The Eight of Wands

It may be hard to understand at first, but what The Eight of Wands card symbolizes is swiftness. The definition of this card is all about speed and the speed with which things occur. The suit of wands is said to all be tied into new information so if you have some information that is coming in, expect it to be coming fast. If you do not have information coming to you that you know of, the events that are predicted by other cards in a tarot spread may be coming swifter due to the presence of this card. But let us take a look at all of the different things that this could possibly mean for all of the different spots on a spread.

If the eight of wands were to show up on the area of a spread that dictates your love and relationship fortune, this could mean that your relationship is about to speed up. It is hard to describe what this means in actuality, but if you have ever heard the phrase we're moving too fast it could be akin to this, though it is not always a negative thing. You will soon be making leaps and bounds in the field of love and doing things with your partner that are more intimate than you had ever done before. If you do not see this happening soon, then it could be related to something else, such as a message regarding your relationship that will be delivered to you soon. Maybe you will soon be hearing the L word from your partner. It may also indicate that you need to make things happen faster if you want things to succeed.

Another meaning of the card when applied to business and career points is that you need to hurry up and make a decision regarding your career. In order to get the balls rolling, if you want to make it to upper management, you will need to keep things moving along at a fast pace. If this is not the case or you believe that this fortune is false, then the other meaning could be that some decision regarding you in your work place is fast approaching. This will usually be a decision that is out of your control, such as your boss' decision to promote you or to promote someone else. In relation to money and personal finances, finding the eight of wands usually means that some information regarding them is soon coming. This could be something as important as winning lottery numbers, or something as mundane as a bank statement that is going to be coming in the mail tomorrow. Either way, you will know soon.

Finally, of this happens to be in your health slot then this means that a decision regarding your health is soon coming. Maybe the results of your blood test will be getting to you soon or something of that nature, or you are going to get a quote from a personal trainer. Either of these things or many more, may be what are set to occur soon.
