What is the meaning of symbols in Eight of Wands Tarot Card?

Eight of Wands symbolizes the current moment in time. Here and now. But the eight is also a symbol of Power. This card tells to not think about the future, use the day that you have. According to the ancients: “Youth flies quickly, so catch the passing time”. It does not give a direct answer to the question you asked, but only indicates that the time for an answer has not yet come. Now this question is not the most important one. It is better to use strength for something else.
In the image, we can see only eight flying staffs and hills with a river in the background. The movement of the wands conveys the meaning of the Arcana: speed, dynamics, some kind of process.

Although the number Eight symbolizes the balance of opposing forces, we are reminded to reevaluate past decisions and assess the current situation, since the goal is close. Since the sky plays a certain role on this card, it is quite possible to travel by air (a business flight to a nearby country or overseas). But it is also likely that your affairs may be suspended in the air and you need to be determined in order to get a satisfactory result.
In addition, Eight of Wands, with its pastoral scene, is lacking any human or animal figures, and also brings the environment to the fore. This reminds us to consider important environmental issues as well as biosafety, recycling and other green topics while playing with today’s world.
