I see the 8 of wands as it is a time for action. If there has been something that you have wanted to do, now is the time to go for that goal. Focus on getting things done rather than just thinking about it.
Any card's meaning depends on other cards around it in a reading but I think it might mean being quicker to communicate. Possibly quicker to respond to someone in conversation or quicker to answer email, snail mail, or return phone calls.
It might be fleeting opportunities, something that comes suddenly, perhaps a phone call or something in the mail or email, something that needs to be acted upon quickly.
Taking things one at a time rather than all at once.
Putting all your energy and focus into something.
Looking out for unexpected opportunities and taking them.
Staying grounded and centred while things take off.
Prepare yourself for something to come to an abrupt end.
Knowing that it will all fall into place suddenly.
