The Eight of Wands Tarot Card Description

The Eight of Wands is depicted as eight flying staves that appear as if they are suspended in the air. Some may look at them as wands that are blossoming that are traveling at a maximum speed. The background where they travel through is a clear sky which represents that there is likely nothing that will stand in the way of these making it to their destination. It shows a majestic landscape with a river that is streaming, the water breathing life to the image. The wands also appear like they are about to land, which signals the end of a long journey.

When it comes to love, the eight of wands meaning pertains to your readiness to be committed on a relationship; however, the card advises you not to force the other party to also be ready on the commitment.

Just like in your love aspect, we advise you to be patient. Save your money and wait for the perfect time to invest. All things that you fought for are building in momentum. Where you didn't see progress earlier, you'll soon discover that they paved the way for the coming wave of action.

Career Meaning - Reversed 8 of Wands

In this position, the eight of wands has two meanings that can apply to your career. Either you are not moving fast enough in your job or you have moved too quickly in the past. Take stock of how you feel. If you are frustrated by a sense of stagnation at work, this card can signal that you have missed opportunities by failing to act in time. You are not advancing because you let the opportunity to do so pass. If, however, you recently moved up in your career, it might be that you moved too quickly. This concern will manifest by feeling overwhelmed by what people are asking of you. If projects seem daunting, it might be useful to talk to someone about how they handle such tasks. You will learn to handle your new responsibilities, but it will take time and patience.

Finances Meaning - Reversed 8 of Wands

The eight of wand here means that you are likely frustrated with the speed at which money is coming in. You might feel as if there is not enough or you should be having money flow in faster. The main take away from a card is that you should be more patient and remember that everything you are doing is part of your slow march towards progress. Your small investments today will pay off in the end (even if they are frustrating now). If your job does not pay as well as you would like, it might be that you are still paying your dues. One day you may have the job (and income) you desire, but you have to be patient today.
