two-of-cups

Two people look into each other’s eyes on this card. This is a profound connection with another person, an emotional upheaval that draws you to them. You meet someone with whom you instantly bond after feeling lonely and disconnected. When your gazes collide, you are pulled together. This connection will only progress if you are willing to put in the effort.
Connections and relationships are the prominent themes connected with the Two of Cups. It’s unclear what kind of relationship you’re in, but you’ve been a part of a strong one in the past, present, or future. This relationship will need work, total trust, and demanding respect. It might, of course, include attraction and be a highly passionate love affair, but it could also be a long-term friendship. The remainder of the spread may or may not disclose the precise nature. It will, nevertheless, be a source of pleasure for you, a constant presence in your life whose well-being will be as essential to you as your own.
A grin. With a wink. A chuckle. A smidgeon. There are many little indications that someone is interested in you. Only those who are ready to freely express their feelings with you are worthy of your time. Their goals, dreams, concerns, and uncertainties should all be things they’re willing to share with you if you’re going to be a good partner. The nature of the Two of Cups is this.
A man and a woman standing face to face on this card, each holding a cup in their hand. They give each other the cups in an open, generous manner. They seem to be two quite different people: she is dressed in a blue robe with a green wreath on her head, while he is dressed in a red-ish frock with a crimson wreath on his head. The man is softly reaching for the woman’s cup and seems to be reaching for her hand in the process
▼
The card of togetherness is the one that all lovers (or pining hopefuls) want to see. These two figures are romantically touching, and many individuals who have been in loving, giving relationships may sense the bond that these two people have. The cup’s suit represents emotion, and their willingness to share their cup with another individual is a significant step forward.
Love is in the Air!
When you see this card, you’ll know that you’re about to make a new connection (perhaps romantic). Don’t be scared to give freely – don’t impose your agenda on the other person, but be ready to give when they ask for a piece of your heart.
It’s essential to remember that a union doesn’t have to be between two individuals who are in a love relationship. Family, friends, and strangers may all form bonds. Connections may also occur on a wider scale, such as between organizations, ideas, and countries. In addition to the formation of new connections, this card also discusses the repair of previously severed or broken bonds. Examine your connections to determine whether this card is urging you to make a ceasefire.
When you draw the Two of Cups, there are a few crucial questions you should ask yourself. What kind of connections/unions am I looking for right now? Is it possible for me to be open and honest with another person about how I feel? What level of openness do I want people to have with me?

What Two of Cups Means for You Today
The Two of Cups has appeared today to show that relationships may be the main theme of your day. This card, at its core, represents two souls coming together in harmony. If you are single It can be a sign that a new romantic partner is about to enter your life. In some cases, this card can refer to your relationship with a good friend or family member. Either way, there is a sense of love and connection in the air today. Try not to impose your will on others today or this positive harmony could turn negative very quickly.
I will leave you thinking about personal liberation, the freedom to see people in their beauty, and the freedom to see the world the way you want. Nothing on the outside can control your capacity to liberate yourself because you control that on the inside. That’s the real power, the power of you.
Thank you, everybody.


The world is completion and cycles to be embraced…

the-world

A woman dances inside an almond-shaped space surrounded by symbols of the four elements, all of which are visible to her. The World can signify completion and cycles. You feel like you have taken your last stride, only to realize that you are back where you started. But now, you have a better grasp of the situation. You have accomplished something recently, attained some level of completeness, pleasure, or satisfaction by working hard, or even just holding on. This could be related to your education, a relationship, lifelong goal, or meaningful journey. You think this part of your life has come to an end, yet you will continue to develop and be ready to go on a new adventure soon.
The World marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Everything is coming into place for you, and everything will come to a good finish and a happy ending. You have the opportunity to achieve your heart’s dream.
The culmination of a massive and irreversible shift, of tectonic breadth, is indicated by the World. This shift symbolizes achievement and an opportunity for you to put an end to the Old and make a strong start to the New. It’s a sign of growing maturity, inner harmony, more knowledge, and satisfaction. It indicates that you’re getting closer to a more complete feeling of enlightenment, as well as the sense of self-assurance that comes with age. It also symbolizes the dissolving of borders, sometimes in a spiritual sense, but more often in a merely physical one, suggesting future trips or adventures.
What exactly is victory? How does it feel to have everything you require? To be at peace with yourself and with the world? We get glimpses of it now and again. A wonderful meal with friends and family. A big cup of tea, a nice blanket, and a lengthy conversation with someone you care about. When you arrive at your ultimate destination after a long and exhausting trip. The world seems as though it belongs to you when you are happy, healthy, and complete. The World card represents completeness – the sense you receive when a story comes to a satisfying conclusion. A sense of peace.

The Alpha and the Omega
Accomplishment is the moment when your ambitions become a reality. It’s conceivable that this sensation won’t hit you immediately, and it’s also possible that you’ll be able to ignore it. Some individuals accomplish great things but never allow themselves to feel proud of themselves. The Fool had no idea what he was in for as he started on his trip. He knew he had discovered one thing definite as he reached the end: a feeling of achievement. The World card indicates that you should work hard to achieve your objectives and resolve your problems… and then relax and enjoy the sensation.
Finally, and maybe most significantly, the World is a clear indication of completion. We all want to be satisfied in many aspects of our life – our homes, our workplaces, our hobbies, and our leisure time are all places where we seek true fulfillment. People, it seems, seldom get the fulfillment that they seek. The World card is reminding you that happiness is there at your fingertips – all you have to do is reach out and get it!
Another facet of the star is its calmness. When they gaze up at the stars, many individuals claim they feel like a completely different person: they don’t feel tiny, but rather larger than they give themselves credit for. Looking up at the stars, you can see a thousand distinct flickering lights in the sky: the sky is similar to our planet in that sense, and each individual is a bright, lovely star. Spend some time gazing up at the sky and absorbing the genuine peace it provides. The Star’s tranquility is like this.
When you get the World card, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on your life and ask yourself a few key questions. What do you think would make you happy? Do you have a sense of accomplishment? Could you give me a sense of accomplishment? What might you do to make your life more complete? Is there already completeness and goodness in your life that you can’t see or appreciate?
What The World Means for You Today
The World card has appeared today to indicate that you have come to an end of a particular cycle in your life. This could be obvious but in some cases, these cycles can be quite subtle. In either case, you have learned what there is to learn from a pattern in your life and it is time for a new one to begin. Whether it’s psychological, emotional, spiritual, or physical, you are moving on to a new chapter. This can also suggest that there are greater forces at work in your life and it is time to allow the world to shape itself around you.

Do you want proof that God has touched your life?

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2024
“Dear sister, dear brother, do you want proof that God has touched your life? See if you can stoop to bind the wounds of others. Today is the day to ask, “Am I, who so often have received God’s peace, his mercy, merciful to others? Do I, who have so often been fed by the Body of Jesus, make any effort to relieve the hunger of the poor?” Let us not remain indifferent. Let us not live a one-way faith, a faith that receives but does not give, a faith that accepts the gift but does not give it in return. Having received mercy, let us now become merciful.”
Pope Francis

Do I relieve the hunger of the poor?

Bind their wounds?

Let me not remain indifferent.

Have a one-way faith.

Generously gifts others.

Be merciful.


Pentacles isn’t the kind of warrior you’d expect from a knight. He is meticulous, sensible, and dependable. This knight, who is never in a rush, takes his time. He walks so slowly that at times you wonder whether he’s moving at all.
He’s constantly busy, and he’s frequently engaged in a variety of activities outside of his daily work. He takes his job seriously and considers the big picture, which includes the things he has to accomplish to grow into the person he wants to be. He has trouble coping with sudden changes on occasion. He despises being caught off guard in any circumstance.
The characteristics of patience, honor, and reliability are symbolized by the Knight of Pentacles, and his presence in your spread may suggest that you, too, share these qualities. This individual enjoys regularity and efficiency and is a diligent worker. Another conventional interpretation is that he symbolizes a young man who will soon join your life as a trustworthy carrier of good news.
The Knight of Pentacles card places us in the midst of rolling, lush hills; the card’s purples and greens are both intriguing and lovely. Front and center, the knight rides a dark black horse with a crimson saddle and reigns. The horse is incredibly still – every other knight in every other suite is moving about, but the Knight of Pentacles and his horse are completely still. The knight is dressed in his best metal armor, with crimson accents on his clothes. He holds a pentacle in one hand, not moving it or presenting it, but holding it out so he may study it

This knight is a hardworking young man but he tends to let his job drive him to ruin. He is often assigned work that is sluggish and unsatisfactory, yet he is determined to complete every tedious task that comes his way. His dedication is commendable, but he tends to get too preoccupied with little things.
He’ll be the one finishing up one of his tedious projects, only to put it off until he figures out what font to use for his paper… which will take him an hour or two. He’s a realist, but he can be a genuine downer when it comes to your aspirations and goals – he’ll be the first to scoff at them. He’s worked hard to get where he is, but now that he’s there, he’s unlikely to want to leave – he won’t be searching for adventure any time soon.
If You Exist, It Means The Universe Thinks You Deserve To
This card offers both advice and caution: seek refinement in the good areas he symbolizes, but stay away from his bad elements at all costs. While you should praise his hard effort, be wary of his propensity for frequently overworking, for little or no pay. Get thrilled rather than obsessed as obsession is a drive that may hurt you in the long run, while enthusiasm will always benefit you. Finally, be grounded but don’t be afraid to attempt a new experience or two.
When you encounter the Knight of Pentacles in your readings, ask yourself these questions. What part of the knight’s energy is beneficial, and what part is harmful? What aspects of the knight do you recognize in yourself? Are you a cautious and cautious person? Are you a dedicated and hardworking individual? What actions might you take to create a positive change in your life?
What Knight of Pentacles Means for You Today
The Knight of Pentacles has appeared today to encourage you to know your worth and, at least for right now, let life come to you. There are times to take big action and there are times to wait for the universe to deliver what you need. The Knight of Pentacles is an indication that now is a good time to sit still and stay where you are at. Don’t chase after a specific outcome right now, things are happening behind the scenes and the universe is arranging things in your favor. Trust in divine timing.

At the center there is not the ego but the other…GLORY is LOVE

eight-of-wands

“At Easter, God finally reveals His glory: He takes away the last veil and astonishes us as never before. We discover, in fact, that God’s glory is all love: pure love, mad and unthinkable, beyond every limit and measure…True glory is the glory of love, because it is the only one that gives life to the world. Certainly this glory is the opposite of worldly glory, which comes when one is admired, praised, acclaimed. The glory of God, on the other hand, is paradoxical: no applause, no audience. At the center there is not the ego, but the other.” Pope Francis

The Eight of Wands moves fast, like a file transfer on a solid-state drive. Files transfer much faster when you have a good computer set up, but sometimes you need to send larger files over the internet. When you need to transfer files quickly, Dropbox can be a great way to get the job done.
You can transfer files easily via USB cables, over the internet, or with a wired ethernet connection. If you have a decent internet connection, there is virtually no limit to how many files you can send securely by using a file transfer service.

We can see eight wands slashing across the sky here. You will be able to accelerate things once you decide to utilize your intelligence to harness your energy. The card advises you to avoid wasting your resources and to make the most of what you have.
You must learn when to accelerate and when to slow down. You risk losing control if you go at full speed all of the time. If we follow this card’s warning, we may still reach where we want to go, and possibly even quicker, by slowing down when necessary. Things will go fast, and no time will be wasted. There’s no need to be concerned about things getting completed on schedule since they usually do so sooner than expected.
Prepare yourself for a rapid shift and an increase in your life’s speed. Things are going to become very hectic. The good news is that any tasks you start will go along swiftly, with minimal delays and a happy finish. However, its brevity requires fast choices and concentration. This card is also excellent for relationships, but it may indicate that you may need to travel for them. All things considered, this is an excellent card to have in your spread if you’re prepared to put in the effort.
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. It’s an object of action because it brings what’s within of us to the surface, allowing it to drive pure activity. 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!
What Eight of Wands Means for You Today
The Eight of Wands has appeared today to show that you are building momentum in some areas of your life. This is also typically known as a card indicating an incoming message or communication. You could receive that call, text, or email you have been waiting on today. Things are moving fast today so try not to get too caught up in the chaos. When we move too fast because things are moving fast around us, it can be easy to make mistakes. When things move too quickly, this is when its time to make the mind move slowly.
on DH Lawrence:

This is a profound connection with another person, an emotional upheaval that draws you to them. You meet someone with whom you instantly bond after feeling lonely and disconnected. When your gazes collide, you are pulled together. This connection will only progress if you are willing to put in the effort.

Sometimes it’s better to be happy than to be right…

Five young men battle each other with five wands on this card. When you put effort into a task, it may grow quickly in the beginning but not so much afterward. The lack of real competition may make success seem simple. However, as you progress, the victory gets more difficult. You’re dealing with more and more rivalry.
The Five of Wands represents the moment you realize you’re up against individuals with the same clout and aspirations as you. It conjures up images of conflicts and ferocious fights, as well as interior concerns and causes for concern. Faced with good opponents for the first time, your energy and desire to win maybe sapped, as well as your pride.
The Five of Wands is never a good sign, as it indicates that you’ll be in for a lot of difficulty and irritation. Pay careful attention to the other cards in your spread to get a sense of which aspects of your life will be in conflict. Expect it to be tense but prepare yourself for the potential that success may come at a personal cost.
On a broad, sandy beach, the men have congregated. They’re all holding their wands/staffs high in the air, and they’re all tangled up in each other. Some individuals seem to be actively fighting, while others appear perplexed that anything is impeding their progress. One or two of the men seem surprised that anybody else is eager for a fight at all! This dispute does not seem to be going away anytime soon.

This card is all about feeling as though you’re working in two different directions at the same time. If you’ve drawn this card in your reading, you’ve likely been having trouble persuading other forces in your life to cooperate with you. Things just don’t always want to go as planned. At work, a coworker chooses to tell a falsehood about you. Your husband opposes everything you want to do today. Every time you go into the room, the corner on the edge of your furniture appears to try to trip you. These annoyances are exactly that: annoyances. Thankfully, this card indicates that they will not continue indefinitely. These kinds of little squabbles can’t last forever.
Sometimes It’s Better To Be Happy than To Be Right
This card also suggests that you and others may be at odds. Things may quickly become nasty when you feel like you’re in a race with others. In a competitive environment, individuals may be nice, but competitiveness tends to bring out the worst in people. If you feel like you’re in competition with others (physically or psychologically), consider how much it’s worth to you before continuing to battle. Is there anything meaningful in this fight for you? Is it worthwhile to pursue, or are you just competing for the sake of competing?
Finally, this card may allude to problems arising from well-laid intentions. It may be exasperating to iron out all the kinks in a plan just to run into a new, unanticipated issue. This is, once again, the card of fleeting battles. Keep your chin up and push through the problems.
When drawing the Five of Wands, consider the following questions. What challenges are you currently dealing with? Is there a clear end in sight? Can you concentrate on the light at the end of the tunnel rather than getting discouraged by the difficulties? Do you feel like you’re in competition with others right now? What is the significance of that competition? Are you just attempting to outdo someone to outdo them, or are you hoping to gain anything in the end? Is it worth it to fight?
What Five of Wands Means for You Today
The Five of Wands has appeared today to show you that the conflicts you may be engaged in are likely to be petty and unnecessary. This is also sometimes a warning that you may become frustrated with something today, but this frustration is not likely to get you anywhere. The people in the cards are fighting with sticks rather than swords, indicating that things may not be as bad or dangerous as they may seem. Try to keep your cool today and do not engage in unnecessary arguments

For today, temperance and balance are my goals…

temperance


The Temperance card is all about balance and moderation and is an important reminder for people to prioritize their health, especially if they are struggling with addiction or depression, and this can include more formal treatment options like rehab or therapy. While we often associate addiction with drugs or alcohol, many people are addicted to social media, online-games, in-app purchases, gambling, or even shopping – anything that interferes with a normal, balanced life. Medical professionals can provide wonderful support and assistance to anyone who is struggling.
Rehabilitation for those in need can take many forms and can be affordable. There are many kinds of rehab centers and treatment programs, ranging from residential rehab to local community outpatient treatments and addiction counseling. Professional help and support, whether from doctors, support staff, or other clinical experts has a wide range of benefits.
With one foot on the ground and the other in the water, an angel stands over a pond, pouring water into two cups. The angel is at ease in both the waking and subconscious realms. She is juggling two opposing poles: material and spiritual, and wonders which one she must give up for the for the sake of the other. This is the still point that restores harmony to the universe.
Temperance is an upbeat card that urges you to achieve harmony and balance in your life and to tackle difficulties with patience and serenity. It understands that conflicting forces inside you do not have to be at odds. Make any important choices with caution, knowing that excellent decisions will lead to a positive outcome for you. Moderation and self-control may help you handle problems in your life.
Patience, self-control, and calmness are all blessings on offer from the Temperance card. This card implies that if you have lately had tough circumstances, you will soon feel calmer and be able to deal with the situation better. You have a good sense of how to handle life and can bring disparate parts together to create a better whole. However, Temperance reminds you of the need for restraint and balance.

On the face of the Temperance card, we see an angel floating just above the earth on the cover of Temperance. She attempts to establish equilibrium by pouring one cup of water into the other. We can also observe that she has one foot on the land and the other in the water, indicating that she is attempting to attain behavioural balance.
Balance is Your Key to Success
Temperance is the card of balance, and its message is to seek equilibrium. The card does not indicate whether the angel will be successful in achieving balance between his two cups, but it does indicate that she is attempting to do so. Another meaning of this card is the necessity to join forces or combine thoughts and materials in order for anything to succeed – the angel can only balance the cups by mixing the water in them.
When you draw the Temperance card, you are being asked to evaluate what you need to create balance and harmony in your life. Do you need to restrain yourself from making hasty decisions? Are you in need of motivation? What must occur in order for you to achieve a state of centeredness? Is there a part of your life where you’re creating this discord? Examine your personal connections, job, and previous activities to see if you can achieve the balance that Temperance encourages you to find.
What Temperance Means for You Today
The Temperance card has shown up for you today to encourage you to seek a proper balance in your life. Whether you’re struggling to balance work and home life, or to balance your responsibilities against your desire to have some fun, it’s never easy being pulled in many different directions at once. Temperance reassures you that it is possible to find an equilibrium which works for you, emotionally as well as in terms of everyday practicalities. Do something positive today towards finding that balance – today’s first small step is the beginning of your journey towards Temperance.

Strength suggests that you must control your instincts and channel them toward good!

strength

While the sign for eternity floats over her head woman tenderly holds open the jaws of a lion. There are passions inside her that she has learned to control, and she transforms the once-violent beast into a peaceful creature. This card represents someone victorious over their foes, though often in a non-violent way.

Strength suggests that you must control your instincts and channel them toward good. If the lion’s fiery, roaring energy and excitement are managed by careful attention, they may be utilized to your advantage.
Your strength is the most basic kind of power, and you already have it. If you are battling sickness or recuperating from an injury, this is a very joyful card. As you would expect, its influence on you and the use you make of it may lean light or dark. You most likely have a proclivity for confronting issues head-on and overcoming them via persistence and willpower. However, with the capacity to conquer life’s challenges comes the duty of self-discipline and compassion. This card may be a warning to take control of your own actions or emotions before they harm you or others you care about.
The card depicts a lady dressed entirely in white, with a floral crown on her head and a waist belt. A lion, as ferocious as any, stands at her feet. Her hand is softly but firmly held against the lion’s head, while her other hand is at his lips. She does not hold the lion’s mouth open with force, but with gentle faith. Her expression is one of sympathy.
The Art of Effortless Power
The Strength card may relate to physical strength, but it is most often used to allude to internal strength. Mental fortitude and faith the powers above are where the woman draws her infinite power. The infinity sign above her head indicates that she has learned to harness the power of the divine and with that quiet strength she can accomplish anything, no matter how dangerous it may seem.
This card could easily be renamed from the Strength card to the ‘Faith’ card but this would not demonstrate the immense power that this type of energy can bring into your life. There is a famous quote from the bible that states “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.\” – this is an apt description of the essence of the kind of strength this card represents.
This card will also call for a feeling of empathy and comprehension. When you see a lion tamer speak, they will constantly emphasize the need of understanding the lion’s strength and possible danger. They’ll also mention that they’re “huge cats” and that they adore animals. These tamers respect the animals they deal with, and respect comes only through understanding. That’s something the Strength card may be urging you to do.
When you draw this card, consider the following questions: On the inside, how powerful are you? What can you do to strengthen your resolve and strength? Do you think of yourself as a stable, calm individual? Is it possible for you to accept an empathic attitude into your life?
What Strength Means for You Today
The Strength card has appeared today to encourage you to have faith in your future. There is a lot of talk in the new age and spiritual communities about the law of attraction. The strength card can sometimes represent the state of mind that allows you to manifest abundance in all areas of your life. This doesn’t just mean money, abundance can show up in several ways to bring you exactly what you need when you need it. If you lapse into pessimism and negativity based on your current circumstance, you run the risk of perpetuating these unwanted manifestations. Take time to detach from your situation let your vibration rise to a higher frequency.

I need to accelerate and slow down. Make the most of what I have. Prepare for a rapid shift. Increase your life’s speed. Grasp the choice. Concentrate! The eight of Wands calls for creativity and strength…

The Eight of Wands 1/18/2024
We can see eight wands slashing across the sky here. You will be able to accelerate things once you decide to utilize your intelligence to harness your energy. The card advises you to avoid wasting your resources and to make the most of what you have.
You must learn when to accelerate and when to slow down. You risk losing control if you go at full speed all of the time. If we follow this card’s warning, we may still reach where we want to go, and possibly even quicker, by slowing down when necessary. Things will go fast, and no time will be wasted. There’s no need to be concerned about things getting completed on schedule since they usually do so sooner than expected.
Prepare yourself for a rapid shift and an increase in your life’s speed. Things are going to become very hectic. The good news is that any tasks you start will go along swiftly, with minimal delays and a happy finish. However, its brevity requires fast choices and concentration. This card is also excellent for relationships, but it may indicate that you may need to travel for them. All things considered, this is an excellent card to have in your spread if you’re prepared to put in the effort.
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. It’s an object of action because it brings what’s within of us to the surface, allowing it to drive pure activity. 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!
What Eight of Wands Means for You Today
The Eight of Wands has appeared today to show that you are building momentum in some areas of your life. This is also typically known as a card indicating an incoming message or communication. You could receive that call, text, or email you have been waiting on today. Things are moving fast today so try not to get too caught up in the chaos. When we move too fast because things are moving fast around us, it can be easy to make mistakes. When things move too quickly, this is when its time to make the mind move slowly.

The more you connect with your newly discovered enthusiasm, the more energized you become…

The Ace of Wands symbolises new beginnings and creative energy. It suggests that you are enthusiastic about a new endeavour and have the energy to carry it through, even if you have just recently found what you want to accomplish. The more you connect with your new discovered enthusiasm, the more energised you become.
This card may sometimes indicate a job change or meeting someone new. Every minute you spend with your loved one seems endless, and you don’t want it to stop. You’ll eventually pick up the wand and go off to see what more this new path has to offer.
Drawing the Ace of Wands often focuses more on motivation and the qualities you’ll need to succeed in these new circumstances. To achieve a great result, you will need to tap into your creativity, passion, and ambition.
When we see a wand in today’s popular media (movies, TV shows, etc.), we know that the person wielding it also has a great deal of creative power. The wand’s magic (and the person who wields it) can do anything. Is it time to start a fire? Boom! Do you want to fight another witch or wizard in a fantasy duel? Shazam! Is it possible to pull a rabbit from a hat? Poof! The wand is just a tool; the person holding it wields the bulk of the power. It is just the focal point, the tool that a magician use to channel their creative force. And magic occurs when we’re given the wand to use for anything we choose!
The Ace of Wands card depicts a lovely valley with green grass, a running river, and a castle perched on a tiny hill. A wand-wielding hand juts out from a cloud in the foreground. The wand seems to be a branch that was just chopped down from a tree. Leaves are beginning to sprout out of the edges of the wand due to the potential contained within it.

The Ace of Wands is often used to represent the very core of creativity. When you have the desire, the want, the NEED to start a business, a project, or a vacation, it is the energy of the Wands suite that drives your enthusiasm. With the Cup suit, you can feel out the project, you can plan out your strategy with the Swords, collect actual resources with the Pentacles… but nothing gets done without the Wands! The Ace represents action, such as putting pen to paper, pressing the “Go” button, or taking that initial step down a long path.
The Ace of Wands also represents the desire to get started that we all have from time to time. The wands suit gives us that creative drive, that euphoric urge to get started, when everything is ready, plans are made, and emotions are involved.
Take That First Brave Step
Most importantly, the Ace may provide you with the courage and foresight to take that first step. “It’s a dangerous business, going out your front door” remarked Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings. We all know that going down a certain road may be stressful, tough, and downright unpleasant at times… yet the Ace of Wands can give you the confidence to shout, “Now’s my opportunity!”
When you draw the Ace of Wands card, there are a number of questions you should be asking yourself: What are you compelled to do? What excites you the most? Are you aware of how to access your own creative potential? Are you willing to push yourself to take the first step toward your objectives? Is it possible for you to accomplish it today?
If you have been hesitating to start that new business or take that family vacation, what is truly holding you back? Your dreams and ambitions are just as worthy as anyone else’s. Spend time focusing on getting your finances in order and take that first brave step towards a deeply meaningful and fulfilling life.
What Ace of Wands Means for You Today
The Ace of Wands is one of the most auspicious and exciting Tarot cards to pull because it is connected to making your dreams a reality. This card is all about new beginnings and the excitement and trepidation that comes with taking that first step into the unknown. Now is the time for you to let go of any hesitation or fears of failure that you have around personal projects or creative endeavours, or even significant life changes. Trust in your own abilities and remember that setbacks and failures are just stepping stones on the way to success.
