The wand cards in the tarot deck are symbolised by the element Fire and rule the zodiac signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. In the classic Rider Waite Smith tarot decks, this tarot card symbolizes rapid communication or events. It shows eight rods shooting through the air like arrows. Eight of Wands represents a fully open and healthy Throat Chakra which can bring a quick awakening to a person in a locked state as we saw in the last card, Seven of Wands. In the next card, Nine of Wands, we see how the character is quickly transformed by this energy.
