Eight of Wands

​Although we're in a difficult time for travel and adventure, the eight of wands says that any trip you take will be life-changing and important. I'm currently planning a trip to Oregon to pick up our new puppy - if that's not a life changing trip, I don't know what is. We've never been dog people and have no idea what we're getting into with a puppy, but we're all excited for the new family member. I can't wait for this grand eight-of-wands adventure!

The Eight of Wands indicates swift energy, action, or travel overseas. The eight wands, typically depicted as flying through the air, indicate that something is coming very soon.

Things are happening rapidly, and you must stay on top of it. Keep your eyes open and your feet ready to go--change is in the air.
