3 Card Tarot Reading

Eight of Wands Tarot Card Description

The wands flash across the sky like arrows, they are a blur of power and radiance. Like the wands, you must move swiftly and decisively. The butterflies that fly about the wands - vivid and free - signify aimless movement, you are an expatriate soul wandering the earth.

This card whispers that travel, fastness, and movement are the order of the day. You have important news on the way and there will be slow but progressive and positive growth in your affairs due to a heightening of your senses connecting both earthly energies and cosmic ones. You are finally about to come to the end of your goals, the end of the journey, and your hard work will be bringing you great rewards.

As we speak, the action is being taken, paperwork is being sorted out, and your affairs are coming to a close in the most efficient and solid way possible. If you have recently had an obstacle come up that makes you feel as though you were stopped in your tracks, it will be transformed for you into something tangible, creative, and productive.

The image of the Eight of Wands is that of 8 staves flying through the air at maximum speed. Having sped through the country, they are going to be able to take their rest soon, having utilized all of their energy. This is symbolic of hope in haste, and sometimes too rapid of an advancement. This can mean that you could be pushing too hard to get something done too fast, and this card is cautioning you to take a little bit more time to make sure that everything is being handled appropriately. Coming news could range from letters of love to news of travel via air.

At this point in time, all that you desire is being presented to you. Draw on the active energy of the staves flying through the air and allow yourself to have enthusiasm about your future and current circumstances. When you are enthusiastic, you get other people excited to help you as well. Your personal freedom of speech and expression are extremely important to you. Consider meditation to calm your larger impulses so that you can wait till you have all of the information before acting. If you take the traits that you are learning about and bring what you already know to the table you will combine your efforts into one harmonious whole. You have a commitment to matters that are spiritual. Pursue this energy and it will take you far.

Through your communication with God or higher source energy, you are able to be moved farther and faster than you ever thought possible. That is why this card is so good for you at this point in time. You have worked hard for a long time, and now you should be able to rest. Resting in prayer and in intentional thought is what the 8 of Wands requests of you. But keep in mind that you do not have to worry about your affairs taking a pause if you do. You have already put plenty into motion and so nothing is going to be able to stop that from happening. In this instance, you just get to rest and you do not have to worry about negative repercussions. The power and connectivity to divine source energy are very common in the suit of the Wands.

Pinecones are like houses to the seeds of love; the seeds are the affection and love of others.

Take a foundation - a friendship, a lover, a career - and decide with speed what to build upon it. You can let your attention wander, free like the butterflies, and know that when it comes to love you should be picky.

Notice the bright, natural landscape behind the wands, the craggy mountains, expansive serene lake, this is the beauty and power of nature - this card is full of positive energy and affirmation. Flying through the air does not guarantee that you won’t at some point come back down, but to struggle is futile, enjoy the ride, for you are sure to be changed by the experience.

 
Eight of Wands Past

You look to the past, and the Eight of Wands recalls a period of frustration; you were fraught with impatience, as nervous a mouse caught in a trap, you couldn’t wait and longed for action. Sometimes things can’t be rushed, but like the wands, you sped ahead anyway and soon found that the forces in your life moved beyond your control.
 
You may have let your life events spiral into chaos, blurring like the butterflies flying on this card. At times it can be all too easy to get carried away with an event, scenario, or person - impulse can occasionally serve us well, but when it’s left unchecked there are consequences that rise up afterward like smoke from a fire, even the small things can turn into something more, just like clapping your hands and triggering an avalanche.
 
It may be painful to remember this past moment, especially if the consequences are still unfurling, but know that it is our mistakes and experiences that guide us toward our ultimate destiny.

Eight of Wands Present

In your present moment, the Eight of Wands splits its meaning. On one hand, your life may have become a kind of limbo, you feel stifled, like a pinecone in bad weather, you are closed up when all you want is to be open to the sunshine.
 
But this card is restless, and its meaning is not fixed, it may also be the case that your life is rich with opportunity, as fertile as the green leaves entwined around the wands. Opportunities are presenting themselves to you, they blossom along your life path as bright and vibrant as roses. Each flower is so rich and rewarding, you don’t know which to pick, each one beckons you to pluck it from the ground - there are so many opportunities, you don’t know which to go for!
 
While these two meanings may seem contrasting, they carry the same forceful message, “get moving”, the Eight of Wands calls to you, “make a change, and embrace the new experiences that come from it.”
 
Whether it means breaking your state of purgatory with a new, brave adventure or deciding which new, blooming opportunity to pick - this card is all about ambition and experience, let yourself be carried away in the stream of new events.

Eight of Wands Future and Outcome

In the future position, the Eight of Wands flies towards you with positive news in its wake - good things are coming your way! The wands are bundles of energy, full of momentum and speed, make sure you match their vibration with proactivity and enthusiasm.
 
Often this card appears when your dream job or ambition is beckoning, see it glisten on the horizon like the first star at sunset. keep your ear to the ground and be ready to run with the baton when it comes your way, for it surely is coming towards you with the speed of a great sprinter.
 
You and your actions may just be the catalyst needed to turn this incoming power into something amazing - stay positive, and stay alert - the rest will unfold as naturally a seed sprouting a stalk.

Eight of Wands Love Reconciliation

Consulting on questions of love reconciliation, the Eight of Wands presents that a lover gives a thrill, things are moving quickly because you do belong in each other's arms. The way the lover makes you feel is so heady, passionate, and alive it feels as if you have whiplash. Either way, reconciliation is a condition purpose-made for the disheartened and the anxious, there is time for salvation.
 
If you are in the relationship which has turned grey, it is time to think of the best ways to turn things back into vivid technicolor, like Dorothy traveling from Kansas to Oz. Your potential is immense, let the feelings of love carry you into a new dimension in your partnership. If you’re in a relationship going too slow remember that the wands move fast and they are adventurers. Enjoy the ride without rushing towards the final destination; sometimes you must flutter like a butterfly, but still be still and cool like a beautiful.
 
If you are single and see this card in a romance reading it likely points to impulsive behavior when dating, you are being ruled by knee-jerk reactions rather than your heart or mind. This card tells you to consider your feelings before jumping into a new relationship, take stock of the beautiful world around you and see if a new romance is what’s right for you in this present moment. You may just find fulfillment in the stunning natural world, instead. 

Eight of Wands As Friendship

Somebody new has walked onto the stage, perhaps they’re an old character from a previous scene, or maybe they’re a new addition to the cast ready to take the story in your magical life. This is a new friendship, one filled with momentum - you talk like soul mates, trust each other like family.
 
Sometimes we just click with someone else and we wonder how we got by before. The Eight of Cards may be indicating the start of a blossoming long term friendship, though often this card appears when it is the start of a friendship. It’s time to burn brightly, but just for a short while. Comfort yourself in the knowledge that whatever is meant to happen will happen; sometimes new companions and confidants are only around for specific chapters in our lives, and other times they may be by our side always, going forward.
 
The Eight of Wands is full of magic, but sometimes it lacks caution - what does this new cast member say on stage when you’re not there? What are they adding to your story? What role do they play? Trust is golden in friendship, just make sure this new acquaintance has truly earned it.

Eight of Wands Reversed Meaning

Sometimes you get a little bit caught up in new ideas or concepts or potential. Fantasizing is an extremely important part of the creative process; however, it is important that you not lose sight of where you have started. Your confidence is being questioned, and this is hard for you to handle. Consider taking any new fantasies that you have about people or situations and take action or communicate immediately so that it doesn’t cause you to procrastinate. Procrastination is your worst enemy. You have done very well up to this point to put action to your desires. Do not stop now.

Eight of Wands Reversed Love and Romance

The reversed Eight of Wands has cropped up to acknowledge the romantic tension you are currently experiencing; in recent days you have found your love life frustrated by unsaid words and bedtimes have been frosty; there is space between you and your partner. But how can you know what is wrong when the words are not being spoken? You must zoom back, and see the relationship in full with the objectivity of distance. Is this a forest fire about to die down, or a situation that’s about to spiral into something much worse? 

If you are currently walking the path of life alone, bear in mind that patience is a virtue. Practice gratitude and appreciate the scenery right where you are - every moment is unique and hindsight is 20-20, so be proud of your independence and all that you are doing with it. It is a part of your development so that when the soul that fits yours crosses your path you are in the perfect state to join roads. 

Eight of Wands Reversed Family and Home

Your family home has become overwhelmed with stress and worry, the reversed Eight of Wands enters your spread to tell you that you’re working too hard, and the competing schedules of every family member is leaving you lost and isolated. 

Upright, the wands fly in unison, going in the same direction with strength and certainty - but reversed their course is altered, like you and your family, confusion has to lead to mismatch and turbulence. When it seems that everything is “go, go, go” there is rarely time to catch your breath, let alone think about what your situation might be doing to the family unit. But the more you drown in the madness of life, the more important it is you take that life-giving breath. Family is a fortress that can protect and support you, allow it to salve your wounds and that daily madness will subside. 

Pause, take stock, and just see if you can’t reshuffle some priorities to make time for the most precious thing in all our lives; the tranquility of family, your conjoined hearts, and connected souls. 

Eight of Wands Reversed Work and Finances

You sit at your desk and wonder - is this all there is? Dissatisfaction clouds your mind and your future seems blank and impossible. The beautiful upright views of the Eight of Wands are flipped on their head with this card’s reversal, instead, all you can see now is monotonous clouds, not a patch of blue sky in sight. 

Things stagnate when they don’t move, and they catch fire when they go too fast. Perhaps you’re unhappy because you acted rashly in a previous period or maybe it is because you have stayed so still you turning to stone, like a hero under medusa’s gaze. But this does not need to be the case, you are the hero after all. If reckless spending and inaction have led you to feel trapped and small, now is the time to resolve these issues.

Boredom in your job is a sign you need to change things up; moving out of your comfort zone can be scary, but it also brings scope for growth and development, like a butterfly set free from a jar! If you are dealing with the fallout from historic bad decisions, do your best to counter these by being patient and thoughtful now - move out of the shadows, and into the sunshine, bathe in the golden life-enriching rays. Do this and you may just find a new season of potential and prosperity is on its way.

Eight of Wands Reversed Health and Wellness

When we are tired and worn down we are like a tree without sun, our branches reach up, desperate for those all-important rays of light, and instead, our leaves shed and turn brown. We may tell ourselves this is part of the changing of the seasons, but this is not true. Instead, we must find a way to move into the light without giving up - this is how we survive and prosper in health and wellness.

Sometimes the problem starts from the inside, like roots that can’t find water, and our exterior begins to wither as well. We can only endure so much neglect before the real, physical symptoms begin to present themselves. 

The reversed Eight of Wands insists that you take care of yourself from the inside out. Allow yourself to rediscover the sunlight and drink up the water from the landscape, you will soon be as pink as blossom with renewed health and vigor.

Eight of Wands Reversed Personal Spirituality

You have trained for the tightrope of spirituality with such dedication, your muscles ache and your body is tired - so why can’t you make it to the other end? Perhaps now is the time to remember that every tightrope walker starts their training on the ground, when you start with your goals too high, you are bound to fall. Spirituality is not about impressing those around you, but building the inner strength to fulfill your destiny. 

In other cases, this reversed card might crop up when your focus has been diverted from your true spiritual calling by the other trinkets of life that sometimes distract us from the real, substantial things that matter.

Now is the time to refocus and get back on that rope, but this time, start your training from the very beginning. Once you can walk along a rope half a foot from the ground, you can do it again from very far up. To get there you must be patient, and steady and keep your face turned towards the light - this is the real path to enlightenment.

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

When the tower exploded in the previous card, something magical happened: a star emerged from the galaxy pool and started beaming with possibilities! Lucky you! If the Star card is coming up in your reading then you should feel just a little bit special.

The universe shines it light on you through the Star card bringing forth peace, tranquility, and most of all hope. The Star card represents a true connection with the divine and that there are favorable energies guiding you at this time. You are on the right path. You are making the right decision. You must trust in yourself as you already have the answer that you seek.

The symbolism of the Star card tells a story of a woman (or goddess) renewing the land (the material world) and water (the emotional or spiritual world) by pouring from the two pitchers in her hands. The bird above her shoulder is Ibis, a favorable sign from the ancient Egyptians of the God Thoth and he knows a secret. Thoth is good at that. The whole world is still in the moment of twilight as the stars begin to shine. This is a time of wisdom and a time for listening.

Often this card comes up during a time of emotional turmoil where you don’t know which way is the right way for you and you feel overwhelmed or even afraid of making the wrong choice. It’s a card that begs the question: What does your heart tell you? If you listen to the truth within yourself, once you allow it to all be silenced, what answer resounds the most? It’s difficult, because the trick to the Star card is learning how to listen and for most of us, that is the hardest lesson of all. To get there you first have to understand that there is hope in your situation and all is not lost. The solution is not as far away as you think and you are not alone.

The Star in Love

If you are seeing this card there are likely deep questions within your relationship or towards love in general. Now is a time to follow your instinct regarding a partner for better or for worse. If you are questioning fidelity in a relationship, for example… understand this does not mean that just because you fear that they are cheating that it is true. Rather, again you have to remember to remove yourself from the situation. Your current relationship is not your past relationship and often you will find that when questioning that you are not putting true standards up to your current partner. Listen to your instincts, which does not mean listen to your fear. You may find that now is a good time to take a step back in the relationship and look at the positives and the negatives. Most of the time the Star is a good sign for a relationship that tells you that things in a rocky relationship can be mended if you open your heart and allow yourself to be a little more vulnerable.

In regards to being single and looking for love, the Star card is also a positive sign. It usually will reveal a long term relationship growing into more rather than meeting someone completely fresh and new. The Star offers a time to mend old relationships and you may be surprised to see someone from your past coming back into your life. On a more personal note, it can also tell you to take a look at your own emotions regarding love and take stock in areas where you have been hurt in the past. Now is a good time to be open to new beginnings and a reminder that with each new relationship comes new possibilities. It also carries a warning of comparing new relationships to past ones.

The Star As Feelings

The star is always bright and present in the deep night sky and in every aspect of our lives. It's the symbol of hope, always guiding us towards whatever we strive for, letting us be open to receive positives from all over. The star reminds us that even if it feels like everything is pitch black, there is still a glimmer of light guiding us forward. To those around us, the star represents what we aspire for and the impact we can make in this world - it's a symbol of external love that lies within each one of us. Being likened to a star in a reading is a grand compliment for all it stands for: hope, love, strength, ambition and resilience. For feelings the star card reminds us that the person feels you might be “out of reach” that it might not be possible to fully be able to have the relationship that you deserve. That is not to say, it might not happen but from my interpretation of a feelings spread this could be something that is just a wish in the night’s sky.

The Star As Love Reconciliation

Lost lovers seem to be able to reunite under the magical power of the star in the night sky. As its light bathes both in warmth, it reminds them of their shared past and enables them to move forward. As they look up and make a wish that their hearts will be reconciled, the star twinkles with hope, encouraging them that they can find their way back to each other. When they part ways again, they are filled with renewed faith that one day they will find a lasting reconciliation. The star has shown them that love can never truly die; it simply needs time and care to blossom once more.

The Star in Health

What else but good health would you expect from a card that offers hope and renewal? This is a very favorable omen when dealing with health concerns and says that there is a positive energy around you that will help keep you on the mend. It is also a card that reminds you that a healthy body comes from a healthy mind. You need to be sure that you are promoting positive thoughts about your health to keep healing or strengthening your body. When this card comes up it is a great time to think about making a positive change in your health as well – such as starting a new routine that focuses on wellness of both the mind and body such as yoga, tai chi, or eating healthier.

The Star in Work and Wealth

If you are having issues with money the Star card often comes up once everything has spun out of control. Financially it can talk about needing time to recover from a loss, to get unhealthy spending habits in check, and to focus your efforts on charity. The hope in this card clearly shows that there is a path to getting your financial troubles on track. If you are not having financial troubles when this card comes up (which is rare) the Star card acts as a warning card. Now is a good time to seek financial guidance before making a big purchase or taking out a loan. You need to be wary of doing business that requires heavy investments or risk.

On the work front the Star is a good omen that increased work is coming your way. Usually coming up when one feels stuck or in a dead end sort of position, it offers a preverbal light at the end of the tunnel. If you are currently employed do not be surprised if something new arises in small doses like an increase of responsibility or someone important taking an interest in your work. For the job seeker, you are more than likely feeling like your job search will never end. The Star card offers hope that things are going to be changing soon. It may be in your best interest to consult an agency or headhunter – seek assistance to get yourself on track.

The Star Advice/Action

The star in an advice or action position tells me one thing (what action you should take?) drawing this card means that things will get better soon, and that your hopes and dreams will help you to aim forward. There is a "deep guiding" intuition and the advice here is to “look inside” for answers. What is your inner voice telling you? This card also shows that things will be slow to come to life.

If you want to speed up the situation then you need to be positive, but accept that things will take time. The main point here is to “go with the flow” do not make things unnecessary and eventually things will happen. There is a danger to want to push a relationship so it is perfect, and trying to create an “ideal” relationship. Something that you have dreamed of all your life but you need to focus on the here and now. Be honest, pour love without any expectations just be who you are. Give yourself to others and do not withhold anything and shine like the star. 

The Star As Friendship Or Family

This star symbolizes friendship and family, as it radiates in small moments of joy. It may be found in a late night conversation or a shared memory from childhood - just when we need it most, the star is there to guide our path. Each moment, every true connection brings us closer to unlocking all that life has to offer us, no matter how lonely or isolated we might feel; for when our stars align in friendship or family, a new world will open up before us.

The Star Rervesed Meaning

The star in reversed is a less than a positive card, but before you give up all hope understand that even negative cards or positions are without merit. The Star card emphasizes that based on your current path unwanted changes are coming in one or more areas of your life and that you either need to prepare yourself or take steps to correct the current path that you are on. You are likely to find that you are not adapting to change well, are overly sensitive to criticism, or on edge recently. It is time for you to look at the areas in which things are no longer working for you. Once you identify the things that are causing your unhappiness you need to take steps to remove them from your life. Usually it is time for you to make the needed changes by leaving an unhealthy relationship or workplace. The first step is often the hardest but most rewarding.

When the stars align and reverse themselves, it's like an unexpected opportunity to move forward. It can be a source of inspiration, and a cause to pull focus onto something positive. Instead of looking backwards and dwelling on the tower before, it can be a reminder that there's always something greater out there. Even in the darkest times, stars still seem to shine brightly and offer a voice of hope and courage. Though the stars may be reversed right now, they reveal paths to future realms that many never thought were possible before.

Love and Romance - The Star Reversed

Even when the star is reversed in love and romance, it can carry its magical spark; like an altar of promises scattered in the night sky. When love is out of balance or stagnates, a reversal provides a unique pathway to rekindle the flames of passion. It can guide lovers in the right direction--toward the deep, meaningful exchange that romantic connections are rooted in. I always feel when I see this in a reversed reading we are pulled towards that twist or turn in love which can provide insight into creative solutions and inner growth--allowing our hearts to expand greater than ever before. This reversed star's poignant beauty still radiates throughout each dark moment, a reminder that life is not meant to stay still, but rather allowed to take its course and ebb in different directions as we open our eyes to whatever comes next.

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

Family and home can be a much-needed reminder of the love that we are surrounded by. When the Star reversed cards appears in a reading regarding your family or friends, it reminds us to tap into this source of love even during difficult times. Struggles can blind us from flipping through the videos on TikTok or flipping through the traditions and conversations carried from generation to generation in our home. We need to focus on all aspects of ourselves, including loved ones, moments of joy and laughter shared at home. Taking time out for this healing is so important, especially if we spend too much energy focusing on flipping all those cards in our minds looking for solutions outside ourselves. The star reversed is here to remind us of home's steady embrace and comfort, and that these relationships are important.

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

In these crazy times of google world, we often feel overwhelmed by too much information. But when the Star card Reversed appears in our work and finances life, it is an invitation to remember that ultimately our journey is driven not just through career milestones but also by moments of reflection, soul searching and self understanding. Let's make sure that amongst all the data and facts, we allocate time for quietness and contemplation so that the decisions we make are coming from deep within us.

Health and Wellness - The Star Reversed

The Star Reversed is an invitation to visit your inner world, discovering what disrupts your peace and how you can meaningfully address it. Amid the joys of life, a wake-up call inviting us to open up to a healthier way of being is always welcomed. This is not just about eating right or finally hitting the gym - wellness goes beyond getting ourselves in physical shape. True health and wellness is an effort that touches our spirits and nurtures our minds. Taking moments for self-care and paying attention to our mental state are essential, journeying inward without judgement, kindness towards oneself being the core goal at hand.

Personal Spirituality - The Star Reversed

The Star Reversed reminds us of the importance of both inward self-exploration and outward service to others. It's a reminder that it is not enough to simply sit in silence and meditate on our own inner journeys; we must also ask ourselves how we can use these spiritual insights to help those around us. When The Star Reversed appears, it teaches us that our greatest successes come from using our newfound personal wisdom to be of service in the world—not just for ourselves but for other people too. In this way, spirituality is united with action, creating a powerful force for love and healing.

In summary, the night sky is a vast and magical place that has inspired and guided people for centuries. This same sense of wonder is captured by the Star tarot card.
