8 of wands

.traveller.

What are some generic actions associated with this card? I should mention that this card doesn't usually show up as a communication card for me, so let's presume that it doesn't mean that for the purpose of this question.

Thank you :)

P.S. I've also seen this to mean a "one-night stand" or a "quickie"... ;)

Thank you!

That does seem rather comprehensive, doesn't it... hmm.

8 wands for me has turned up as passion. It was quick & fast and had burned itself out very quickly. (Not the action itself just the situation between us. })

The energy of a situation, the energy around you, is moving in a positive direction. Everything seems to flow along with your will, with your movements. You cannot go wrong; there are no obstacles.

This has come to indicate moving/travelling on many occasions.
Also, when so many things are going on at the same time and it's just sort of frenzied, hectic and/or fast paced.
And its also indicated a passionate but short lived affair. Lots of passion rising but falling just as quickly.

When I see the 8 of wands, I do interpret it as a contact card.

If it comes up in the relationship area of my spread, I interpret this as a long distance relationship, or he travels a lot.

If the question being asked is whether or not he will contact, I see definite contact but not face-to-face.. through email, phone, text, im.. etc.

Traveller, thanks for starting this thread. This is one of the cards I have always found tricky, and I have realised that its because of the image. In most of the RWS derived images, its a guy hurling a spear. I get the quickness imagery, but I don't necessarily see positive communication in spear throwing or a good resolution. I'm curious about others reactions to this image.

Cheers
