The eight of wands is about speed, action, exercise, and the overcoming of obstacles. The waiting is over, and it's time for action. Some things call for careful consideration and planning. This is not one of them. If you've been waiting to start an exercise plan, now is the time. If something has been holding you back, its influence will pass away. The fog lifts as you run into the light. If the eight of wands appears in a reading, it means that now is the time for action. No more waiting, no more excuses, no more obstacles. Forge ahead. Whatever you have been planning, thinking about, or putting off, now is its time. My eight of wands depicts a girl running over a stream using a makeshift bridge. By the act of running, she represents both the speed and exercise components of this card. She is coming from darkness into the light, indicating an end to the obstacles. Though the stream might have been an obstacle, this serendipitous bridge of eight wands has appeared to help her across. Where another might carefully step across the bridge, or fail to trust it and wade through the stream instead, she forges ahead at full tilt. She knows that it's not the time for caution. It is the time for action.
