I drew the 8 of Wands, Reversed, this morning to see what it could tell me about my day. The 8 of Wands can mean blockage and even marital trouble. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be a good day, but luckily it didn’t go so badly.
Astrologically the 8 of a Wands is affiliated with Mutable Fire, the sign of Sagittarius, which happens to be the sign the Sun is in this time of year. I have difficulty with Fire signs sometimes because they seem so different from who I am. Mutable I can understand—Mutable Gemini is one of signs I’m on the cusp of—but I think Fire is so passionate and lively that it’s foreign to me.
My day did not play out as negatively as I thought it might when I drew this Reversed card. There was no big discord between myself and my husband which was my fear. The feeling of being blocked is not a stranger to me these days so I suppose that’s what the card was picking up on.
I’m also wondering if the card is signifying the end of my funk is near. I wonder this because 8 is near the end of the sequence of numbers in the pip cards of the tarot. Sure, I’m hoping to not feel so lost and adrift in life, but the blocked sensation leaves me with a feeling both oppressively full of despair and strangely devoid of emotion.
Here’s hoping tomorrow brings something a little clearer to interpret and more positive.
Peace and balance,
Erin
