Eight of Wands

What the card shows

Eight wands fly diagonally through a clear sky above a quiet landscape and a river. There is no person on the card at all, only motion, like arrows that have already been fired and are about to land.

In the suit of Wands (element: Fire), the focus is drive, ambition, creativity and passion. Eights carry movement and effort, the push toward mastery.
