The Eight of Wands card returns us to the Wands suite's origins - the idea of creative mobility and strength. A wand is a tool, a gadget that allows us to channel our energy out into the world.

You can picture the kind of activity that this card implies with eight of the items on it!
In terms of look, the Eight of Wands is one of the most straightforward cards in the tarot deck. In the backdrop, we see a verdant, developing valley with a thin river flowing through it. We notice eight wands/staffs in the front, all of which are sticking out, almost as if actively flying through the air. Is it true that they're being thrown? Is it only that they're falling from the sky? From our vantage point, it's impossible to say for sure, but one thing is certain: those wands are going somewhere.
Full Speed Ahead!
This is the card of unexpected action. The Eight of Wands, like a javelin falling from the sky or lightning striking from the sky, indicates that things will happen swiftly. This is the card of unexpected news and shocks, so don't take it lightly. Unfortunately, this card is also a huge mystery - it does not indicate what kind of activities, news, or surprises are on the way, other than the fact that they are.
This card also implies that there will be no wasted energy in new initiatives, projects, events, and so on. It might even be a call to action: perhaps you've been putting off finishing a project, but the Eight of Wands is here to remind you that now is the time to devote all of your efforts to finish it. Whatever the situation may be, be aware that what is ahead will need your whole focus and every ounce of creative energy you possess.
When you see the Eight of Wands card, ask yourself these questions. What level of preparedness do you have for the unexpected? Are you able to get straight into a new project? What is the state of your creative energy? If you're low in energy, you'll want to do all you can to reclaim it immediately, before anything unexpected happens!
