The image and its meaning
Eight wands are in free fall and are about to strike the ground in a burst of fire.
The landing is imminent. These wands will fall on fertile soil, take root there and grow. The Eight of Wands is a positive card.
It shows that something good will enter our life in the very near future – it will happen out of the blue and by surprise. But we have to make room for the wands in our life and be open to what is coming. The wands must be allowed to fall on fertile soil within us.
The sky is blue and the landscape is lush and green. With open expectation and optimism we can joyfully welcome a positive situation. Perhaps a new love, new business opportunities or good news.
