Eights are about progress, moving forward in your skill level, professionalism, reinventing yourself, etc.
Take a good look at this card. It is well balanced but each part of this card contains a message. Look at the images inside the card and we’ll start with the sky and work to the foreground.
There is a keyword in the sky of freedom. Do you notice the birds flying? There are 16 of them (2×8) and they are flying in formation without being hindered by the peregrine coming to land on top of the archway. The peregrine represents speed and mastery over the air. The clouds in the sky suggest the atmosphere is full of movement and change. I can almost see the clouds moving at a quick pace. The sun is shining and is just gracing the top of the archway.
The dividing archway in this card is a window to opportunity, from the conscious to the unconscious. It is through the archway where you can roam freely and find different perspectives and different adventures. This archway leads to freedom from work.
In the foreground we see a table with four chairs. A white board just behind it shows a chart that indicates positive progress. On the table is mail, a cordless phone, and an ipad. The word communication can be seen on the ground between two chairs. This is all about fast growth, progress, communication and using whatever resource you have at hand to get your message across… from snail mail, to telephone, to internet. We have rapidly progressed in our abilities to quickly communicate.
The symbols across the top of the card are (left to right): Mercury, Fire and Sagittarius. The runes beneath Mercury are Ansuz (transmission of intelligence, communication, synthesis, transformation), Algiz (awakening, state of listening) and Laguz (sea of vitality and of the unconscious growth, communication between your conscious mind to another’s unconscious mind); the runes below Sagittarius are Ehwaz (ability to detect deceit, facilitates swiftness), Fehu (new beginnings, wealth, energy), and Uruz (manifestation, pragmatic knowledge, understanding).
The Tree of Life path is Hod (splendor) in Atziluth (emanation).
What opportunities do you have available to progress your skill set and your communications? How professional are you in your business dealings, the delivery of your message or the image you convey? This card is suggesting that there is room for fast growth and rapid progression of your skills, professionalism and communication.
