𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 – 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 – 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
Things happen for the best at home: That’s the first thing you hear these three cards say. 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is your plural-maker for the ‘things.’ The ‘happen for the best’ is 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 of course. And 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is at home. 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 and 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 also say ‘one lucky coincidence after another,’ with Eight of Wands being ‘one after another’ and Wheel of Fortune being, as usual, the lucky coincidence. Wheel of Fortune is also opportunity, and Eight of Wands can simply make it say ‘opportunities,’ adding the plural and disappearing.
𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is the practical and pragmatic dame with her head screwed on straight, and she will keep you and yours straight too because she is the manager. Put Wheel of Fortune next to her like we have here, and she is a miracle-worker.
When Queen of Wands is in charge, things happen fast too – because Wheel of Fortune is ‘happen’ and Eight of Wands is ‘fast.’ Happen fast, that’s a common phrase for us to remember here.
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 and 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 say ‘lucky woman,’ so they also say ‘lucky to have that wife or woman.’
𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is talk, so you talk to your mother when 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 joins 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 – or your wife, or the manager. Wheel of Fortune says you are lucky to. So you are lucky to talk to your mother (or the manager). Wheel of Fortune can make Eight of Wands ‘wonderful things to say,’ with Wheel of Fortune being wonderful, and Eight of Wands being both the ‘things’ and the ‘to say.’ (You can double up on meanings like this if it makes a nice natural statement.)
𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is ‘home,’ so 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 brings the idea of luck to house or home, so ‘a chance to have a home of your own.’
Eight of Wands has another easily overlooked talent: It can add the gerund form, the ‘-ing’ form, to indicate a continuing process (like Two of Pentacles does). So it turns Queen of Wands having her house in order to ‘getting her house in order.’
𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 can be paperwork (the writing, the documents, etc.), and 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is the woman with the ability to manage, so you have ‘Her wonderful ability to manage the paperwork. Queen of Wands is the ‘her ability’ and the ‘manage’ here. Eight of Wands is the paperwork. And naturally, Wheel of Fortune is ‘wonderful’ again.

Hanged Man‘s illustration arises from at least three myths from different times and places about a man or god who sacrifices a body part or body function to the gods in exchange for psychic/magic/spiritual gifts and abilities, by hanging himself on a tree for three days. One of the myths is Odin sacrificing an eye.
So Hanged Man is awareness, realization, psychic experience, psychic development, sacrifice, insight, seeing things upside down.

𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
He’s a lover, a peacemaker, a good-guy, sweet-natured and affectionate boyfriendly fellow. He has his hand out offering the cup of friendship to whoever he faces on the road there, the wings of Mercury the communicator on his head. He can sell you anything. Take him home and feed him.

Ｔｈｅ Ｐａｇｅ ａｎｄ ｔｈｅ Ｋｎｉｇｈｔ ｏｆ Ｗａｎｄｓ
𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 Check out the well-adjusted good-looking clean-cut young man here. Good-looking good guy, fit and in good shape. No suspect connections, very respectable. He talks, tells, speaks up, stands up for, and testifies.
Page of Wands is about identity (what I stand for), reputation (being known as, or being the type).
He also means ‘physically’ and ‘in person.’
𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 Knight of Wands is gung-ho, energetic, assertive. This is you pursuing sex. This is being in a hurry – running, chasing, pursuing, getting out of Dodge. See him run. See the panicky look on this face!

Men who are emotional.
1 Man who is a live wire or a mad hatter, or both – the passionate and maybe macho fellow. (𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙚)
2 Man who is sweet-natured, affectionate, friendly, who makes the first move. (𝙆𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙚)
A man … you, your man … is one or the other of these templates as time goes by, and some men stay at one or the other end of our spectrum. Our point is that this is human nature, you take him as he is, pretty much.
