Eight of Wands

Eight wands shoot across the sky at lightning speed, guided by the hand’s gesture, as if crossing oceans in an instant. This visual captures the core of the Eight of Wands—sudden momentum, rapid shifts, and long-distance movement.

The waves stirred by the passing wands subtly reflect the watery energy of Mercury in Sagittarius, symbolizing both swiftness and depth.

The hand resembles a divine intervention—swift, unpredictable, and beyond comprehension. When divine will descends, one often realizes it only after the moment has passed. This reinforces the theme of urgency and surprise.
