Okay, so today I wanted to dig into what it means when the 8 of Wands shows up in a reading, but like, representing a person, you know?
First, I grabbed my favorite tarot deck and just shuffled it, thinking about the question. I like to keep it casual, no super formal rituals or anything. Just me, the cards, and a cup of coffee.
My Experiment
- I pulled a few cards, kind of getting a feel for the general energy.
- Then, I specifically focused on the 8 of Wands. I held it in my hand, looked at the imagery – all those wands flying through the air – and thought, “Okay, if this was a person, who would they be?”
The Brainstorm
I started jotting down some ideas in my notebook. Stuff like:
- Someone super fast-paced. Like, always on the go, juggling a million things.
- A person who’s full of energy and ideas. Maybe an entrepreneur or a creative type.
- Someone who communicates quickly and directly. No beating around the bush with this person!
- Maybe someone who travels a lot, or is involved in things that happen quickly – like news or social media.
My Realization
Then, I thought about people I know. And it hit me – my friend, Sarah! She’s totally an 8 of Wands person. She’s a freelance journalist, always chasing stories, traveling, meeting deadlines. She’s quick-witted, talks a mile a minute, and is always buzzing with new projects.
So, for me, connecting the card to a real person really helped. It made the 8 of Wands feel less abstract and more… well, human! It’s not just about speed and action, it’s about that type of person who embodies those qualities.
I kept the 8 of Wands out on my desk all day, just as a reminder. Every time I glanced at it, I thought about Sarah and how she navigates the world. It gave me a new appreciation for the card, and for my super-charged friend!
