The "Eight of Wands" is a card that any wild and wooly Sagittarius-Sun, Jupiter ruled, native would love. If there's one thing us Archers crave it's movement, and there's plenty of that and more in this card. 'course sometimes us Sag's don't know when enough is enough, and when this card comes up in a reading, especially reversed, it could be flashing the "WARNING - Overheated - Slow down!" sign.
Speaking of Jupiter, that's the very planet that Robin included in the Eight of Wands...as well as a waxing moon and Jupiter's own moon. One might not be able to visibly see Jupiter and the moons moving, but one can't miss the action of the shooting, eight wands, with fire coming off their backsides, as if they were rockets. The wands themselves are not all the same, and for good reason. Robin wanted to show, "...that there may very well be a range of things going on here." If one wand jumps out over another, it would be wise to look at it carefully and see what message it brings.
The Eight of Wands itself depicts an explosion of energy...decisive upwards and outwards movement. Perhaps the querent wondered about whether any active steps have been taken regarding whatever it is they are waiting for? Rest assured, depending on where this card comes up in a spread and the question asked, one can be pretty safe to surmise that things are moving and they're moving swiftly, possibly even towards a conclusion. Or maybe the querent was wondering if it's the time to act themselves? If the Eight of Wands is any indication, there's a good chance that the querent, too, will be propelled forward in all the excitement and rush. Too fast for your taste? The querent needs to think long and hard about whether they can handle the pace. Even the go-go-go Sag can burn out at light speed if not careful. And furthermore, where ARE those wands going to land? Makes me think of the Archer who shoots his arrow and knows not always where the target is.
Robin pointed out that the Eight of Wands could literally mean travel. Perhaps this could be unexpected travel or that there's a need to get where you're going and FAST. Also, traditionally the card could deal with receiving news. It's best to be on the alert if you've got an inkling that important information is heading your way. Possibly the truth to some matter is due to be unfolded.
