Symbols in the picture

1. 1
   Eight Wands Flying Diagonally

   Eight wands slice diagonally across the sky, streaming in one direction. They symbolize a phase in which something that had been stalled suddenly gains speed and unfolds all at once.

2. 2
   Trails of Light

   Long, sparkling trails of starlight extend behind each wand. They represent news and messages arriving in an instant, and the unimpeded movement of energy.

3. 3
   Downward Direction

   The wands descend from the sky toward the ground. They show the flow of scattered forces finally reaching their target and coming in for a landing as fruition.

4. 4
   Uninhabited Field

   There are no people or animals in this card; only the landscape and flying wands remain. This means the matter has already left your hands and is moving forward on its own, symbolizing that it is time to entrust yourself to the flow rather than try to hold it back or slow it down.

5. 5
   Winding River

   A river flows peacefully across the field. It symbolizes smooth progress and a natural direction moving without obstruction.

6. 6
   Clear Blue Sky

   A blue sky free of obstacles opens the wands’ path. It signifies good timing, with obstacles gone and all conditions in place.

7. 7
   Distant Village and Church

   A small village and steeple stand at the end of the river. They hint at the place of arrival that this swift flow will eventually reach, the destination toward which the news is heading.
