So, the card of my choice was the 8 of Wands – it is all about things happening quickly, with speed and momentum. It’s a card of fast progress, rapid communication, or even travel. When the 8 of Wands appears, events unfold with a sense of urgency, and there’s little to no time for hesitation. This matches the description of being “the force that makes everything move, swiftly and without pause.
The 8 of Wands can signify the beginning of a new phase or change that can’t be ignored. It’s an actionable force that pushes situations forward, often indicating a new direction or turning point, just like the “new chapter” described in the quote.
Some of my followers suggested some others cards and below you’ll find explanation how these cards are different.
Here’s a short overview of the suggested cards – how they compare and how they are different in some aspects.. Yes, I can see why you’ve chosen some of them, but there is also a subtle difference…
While the TOWER brings sudden and disruptive change, it’s usually chaotic and destructive. The change associated with The Tower is jarring and catastrophic, breaking down old structures that weren’t stable. It’s about things falling apart, which is very different from the swift, purposeful movement of the 8 of Wands.
The WORLD card represents completion and the end of a journey. It’s about achieving a goal or reaching a sense of fulfillment, rather than the quick, active movement that the 8 of Wands brings. The World represents the end of a cycle, not the immediate beginning of something new or fast-paced.
DEATH represents transformation and endings that lead to new beginnings. While it does signal the start of something new, the energy is more about profound change and internal transformation. The change that Death brings is a slower and also more reflective process than the 8 of Wands.
The WHEEL of FORTUNE speaks to cyclical changes and fate, yes it represents the ups and downs of life, often beyond a person’s control, so yes, also change, but it’s about the forces of destiny or luck turning, rather than the swift, purposeful action represented by the 8 of Wands.
