Things happen for the best at home: Thatโ€™s the first thing you hear these three cards say. ๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ is your plural-maker for the โ€˜things.โ€™ The โ€˜happen for the bestโ€™ is ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ of course. And ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ is at home. ๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ and ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ also say โ€˜one lucky coincidence after another,โ€™ with Eight of Wands being โ€˜one after anotherโ€™ 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 โ€˜opportunities,โ€™ adding the plural and disappearing.

๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ 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 โ€“ because Wheel of Fortune is โ€˜happenโ€™ and Eight of Wands is โ€˜fast.โ€™ Happen fast, thatโ€™s a common phrase for us to remember here.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ and ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ say โ€˜lucky woman,โ€™ so they also say โ€˜lucky to have that wife or woman.โ€™

๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ is talk, so you talk to your mother when ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ joins ๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ โ€“ 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 โ€˜wonderful things to say,โ€™ with Wheel of Fortune being wonderful, and Eight of Wands being both the โ€˜thingsโ€™ and the โ€˜to say.โ€™ (You can double up on meanings like this if it makes a nice natural statement.)

๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ is โ€˜home,โ€™ so ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ brings the idea of luck to house or home, so โ€˜a chance to have a home of your own.โ€™
Eight of Wands has another easily overlooked talent: It can add the gerund form, the โ€˜-ingโ€™ form, to indicate a continuing process (like Two of Pentacles does). So it turns Queen of Wands having her house in order to โ€˜getting her house in order.โ€™

๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ can be paperwork (the writing, the documents, etc.), and ๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ is the woman with the ability to manage, so you have โ€˜Her wonderful ability to manage the paperwork. Queen of Wands is the โ€˜her abilityโ€™ and the โ€˜manageโ€™ here. Eight of Wands is the paperwork. And naturally, Wheel of Fortune is โ€˜wonderfulโ€™ again.
