The Rider Waite Tarot The Eight’s

The number Eight in the Tarot deck describes boundaries, limitations and situations that are inherently intractable. As we search and seek and gain desire for things to be a certain way, we often ignore boundaries. It is good to know your limitations and accept what can and cannot be done. Those who resonate with the vibration of eight are extremely successful – particularly in business where success relies on a period of time that allows progress to unfold. These people see trends and the bigger picture, and are able to ride a wave to their great gain. If the eights could be described in one word it would be ‘action.’ These cards illustrate moments of dedication, movement, and commitment. Often growth-oriented, the eights show us how deciding to put our noses down and do the work can be in turns satisfying, galvanizing, and intimidating.

The Rider Waite Tarot Suit of Wands

The Suit of Wands is associated with primal energy, spirituality, inspiration, determination, strength, intuition, creativity, ambition and expansion, original thought and the seeds through which life springs forth. Wands deal with the spiritual level of consciousness and mirror what is important to you at the core of your being. Wands are also indicative of all things that you do during the day to keep you busy, be it working at the office, home or the great outdoors. Wands have to do with movement, action and initiatives and the launching of new ideas. They may be indicative of a never-ending Ideas List’ or To Do List’, whereby the client has many projects on the go to keep them busy. The negative aspects of the Suit of Wands include illusion, egotistical behaviour, impulsiveness, a lack of direction or purpose, or feeling meaningless.

Complete Book of Tarot: According to the Golden Dawn, several major arcana cards are associated with the element Air and the airy suit of Swords. These include:

Portable Magic: At the same time, she releases the accumulated energy of desire and intention from her heart centre, where it is focused. She uses her right hand to draw it from the centre of her chest and direct it in the form of a lance of light through the centre of the triangle of golden fire that floats upright upon the air above the three elemental trumps. Bright white radiance fills the astral triangle, and the whirling air in the circle falls still.
