If you pull all four 8's in a reading what could that mean? I know that it is suppose to have some signicants. Thanks.

Sorry, LGarrick, I have no idea! But maybe if you post the whole spread in the 'Your readings' forum someone will be able to help you make sense of it?

There is a section in 'The Pictorial Key to the Tarot' by AE Waite that tells what multiple numbered cards in a spread(sorry if this sounds foggy, I am at a loss for words tonight. I mean when you get like 2 or mnore of a number, lik 8's in this case.) I should type this out, and post it. I'll look it up for you!

Quote: From Thirteen's Tarot Basic at http://aeclectic.net/tarot/basics/eights.html Going with the Rider-Waite deck, we'll relate the Eights to Strength. Eights are about moving, taking action, as Strength is a card of courage and transformation. It's very easy to let things stay as they are inside yourself or without (though, as the Eights warn, it's easy but damaging). It is much harder to gather up the willpower and mental strength to make a real change. A scary change. Like the Strength card, it is scary to approach that lion, but you can alter the relationship you have with it. Hi LGarrick! This is what Thirteen had to say about eights in common, perhaps this might give you a clue about where all the eights meet. To me Thirteen's Tarot Basics is still one of THE best Tarot resources I know of, and it's a lot better explained there than I could do myself!...! If all four of them show up at the same time, I'd think about change and about taking a deep breath before taking some courage-demanding action... I'd see if I could relate the elements/suits to the positions of the spread, and on the whole I'd get the feeling of taking action to promote a change that will affect your whole life situation at this point. In some way. Hope this helps! Light and love, Jenny :)
