Shuffle your deck.
-
Turn the deck over so that you can see the cards. Locate The Eight of Wands.
-
If The Eight of Wands is reversed (upside down) or is the last card in the deck (with no card beneath it), this is not a great time to go.
➔ Pay attention to the card directly on top of The Eight of Wands. This card symbolizes what is keeping you in place. It may be a permanent force, or something temporary that needs to be addressed before you can move. -
If The Eight of Wands is upright or is the top card on the deck (with no card above it), it means you are currently in a good position to take action.
➔ Take a look at the card directly beneath The Eight of Wands. It symbolizes a force, situation, or entity supporting you as you go.

I’m struggling with a decision right now that’s kind of put me in a weird position personally. I used this spread and, funnily enough, it confirmed what I thought about the situation. Eight of Wands Reversed with the Two of Wands Reversed underneath → don’t make a move yet because I’m overanalyzing everything lol basically, stop thinking about it so hard, it’s not that serious!
