Is the Eight of Wands a Sign of Bad Luck?
The Eight of Wands is also referred to as the ‘judgement of communication’ card so there is certainly going to be a significant amount of power attributed to it.
Ultimately, if the card was then seen as being a sign of bad luck, then this would not exactly be the kind of predicament that you would be wanting to find yourself in.
The card itself shows eight wands effectively pointing you in the direction in which you should head.
It can also be seen as representing a period of delays or problems having come to an end, and that is hardly going to then be representative of bad luck.
Also, it is often drawn when you have entered into a part of your life where you have perhaps come through a bad time and are able to now move onto something that is more productive and better for you. This is not the kind of card that then promotes the idea of bad luck.
In fact, to further counter the idea that the Eight of Wands is a sign of bad luck, you should know that the card is also aligned with Jupiter.
This is key as this planet is viewed in line with luck but only in the positive sense. So, if it aligns with this, then it makes a lot of sense that the card is not going to be a sign of bad luck in any way.
But then, we can take the next step and say that the Eight of Wands is directly related to a period of good fortune and luck being on your side.
It represents a path being effectively cleared for you that you may have previously believed to have been blocked. However, that is no longer the case if you have the confidence and desire to just step forward.
It should also be pointed out that there is still no sense of obstacles being in your way or anything to really impede you.
The concept of this being a bad luck card is still not exactly true even though it does not claim that everything will indeed be plain sailing from here on in.
If you see the card in reverse, then it still does not indicate bad luck in any way.
Instead, it is trying to tell you that there is no point in you holding onto the past as you are unable to change what happened before and that there is a real need to let go.
So, the Eight of Wands is pretty much as far removed from being a bad luck card as it is possible to be.
Instead, it is telling you the complete opposite and is likely to push you towards a much better future than you had perhaps felt was possible.
Also, just remember that this applies no matter the direction in which the card is facing or the part of your life that it has been drawn in because this is just going to spread good tidings over you everywhere that you look.
