Title the card sideways, just for a moment, see the number 8 become the symbol of infinity.  The universe is infinite, you are not, but your spirit, it will travel for eternity as photons.  As light.   8 of Wands represents fire, under the sign of Sagittarius.  The advantageous spirit, whose boundless energy, is to explore.  For they are the light bearers.   Free to travel in all cardinal points, yet centred at the middle of the polyhedron, fused as two.  Meditate on its centre.  This will ground the wandering thoughts, the chaos that surrounds.  You cannot be affected, unless you wish to be swept up in turmoil of the existence.  Do you?  Mercury rules the card, but is not blunt in its impression, as the 'Chokmah' (חָכְמָה), the rainbow above, embraces all cultures, beliefs, creeds, desires and all needs.  Be what you want, be free.  Enjoy the wisdom of life, and let it flow through.  But, do not grip onto it.  As energy is never static, it must pass through.  Use this to motivate, to become all and to become nothing.
