The Thoth tarot brings me the Lord of Swiftness today, the Eight of Wands. This card used to come up quite frequently for me when I was feeling overwhelmed by life! I certainly hope to avoid that today, so let’s see what else this highly charged card has in store.
Morning Musings
The wand here are actually eight red arrows, shaped like jagged lightning bolts radiating from the center. There is as much energy available from within as from without. I have the potential for making great strides in whatever I choose to tackle today, as long as I ride the waves of energy and don’t fight it.
A bright rainbow arch is overhead, along with the symbols for Mercury and Sagittarius. Both fast paced astrological bodies, they encourage communication and adventure, respectively. Most likely a good day for writing and making dreaded phone calls!
Evening Review
Today felt much faster than the day’s events would indicate! I tweaked the font here at Tarot Musings, wrote about the Peace and Worry Tarot Spread, did some planning about my personal goals, and got some blog reading done! Sounds exhilarating, doesn’t it?
Well, it may not to you, but today, I felt truly alive. I was excited, vibrant, and I could just feel the energy running through my veins. Stress and worry were not an option, and I’d love for more days to go this smoothly. I can feel things going my way right now.
We also had some more snowfall, and it was coming down pretty fast! Sort of equals the RWS version of eight wands falling from the sky. I do hope that part goes away; I’ve been ready for spring for months!
Another oddity in my life: today was the first day I wasn’t carded for buying alcohol. Although that doesn’t make me feel that good about my age (I’m 26, after all!) I suppose I was exuding the self-confidence and maturity that makes me look wiser than my years. Either that, or the clerk was having an off day.
What got you truly excited and driven today? How does the Eight of Wands make an appearance in your life?
