It is known that Moses touches his staff to the water in the pond to set a plague in motion. The staff that he carries is the object of power that initiates occurrence of events. Moses' staff reminds me of the wands on this card. They are a symbol of the onset of action and its effects. Before acting, we think, imagine, speculate, talk and dream. This is the realm of air - the sky. Then, finally, we decide to make our move. We bring our ideas down to earth and put them into action.

In Tarot readings, the Eight of Wands is often a sign that now is the right time to declare your own scheme of things. All the natural elements are ready and will work in your favor and will do so as long as you don't hesitate. The iron is hot - so now is the time to strike! If events are already in motion, they will proceed rapidly. You may feel that you are caught in a whirlwind, but dust will soon settle, and you see how your plans have actually fared and most likely in your favor.

The Eight of Wands tarot also stands for the arrival of information or important news. You may hear or see something important. The news could show up in a hidden or disguised form, so you must be vigil. Pay attention to details of everything that comes your way for a while.

This card also signifies completions and endings. Sooner or later all the activities will run their course. The eight wands on this Tarot card not only symbolize putting events into quick motion, but also bringing them to a successful completion. They appear in the card to be ending their flight by coming down to the ground level or the earth. If you see the tarot Eight of Wands in a reading, it may be the appropriate time to conclude whatever you have been doing or currently pursuing. Celebrate the past, but prepare to move on to new avenues and newer ventures.
