Complete Book of Tarot: This card shows a young artisan working diligently to create an object of beauty in cooperation with two individuals who respect his work and are willing to pay him well for his skilled labor. Here the tarot seems to be advising the student to master an area of her craft and establish a reputation for doing her work with diligence and expertise.

Reversed Cards: One of the interesting features about the Eight of Wands card is that it is often depicted without any people in it, which seems to make it somewhat ambiguous. Regardless of its orientation, how can you tell if the flying wands are friendly fire or an enemy attack? This is why in the shadow aspect the Eight of Wands might put you on the defensive. Rather than seeing this card as a sign to forge ahead unobstructed, you may instead feel like you are under fire. If this card has shown up in your reading or daily draw, check in and see how it makes you feel, because there is a good chance this may tap into your fight-or-flight response.

Complete Book of Tarot: In the case of Bill Clinton, his birthday August 19, 1946 reduces as follows: 8 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 38, which reduces to 3 + 8 = 11 (Strength or Justice, his personality card). The number 11 then reduces to 1 + 1 = 2, the High Priestess (his soul card). Note that in the traditional tarot of Marseille, card XI was Strength (which Crowley renamed Lust). In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, card XI became Justice. One could argue that themes of strength, lust, and justice have characterized the life and personality of President Clinton.
