In divination
Activity in undertakings, the path of such activity, swiftness, as that of an express messenger; great haste, great hope, speed towards an end which promises assured felicity; generally, that which is on the move; also the arrows of love.
Reversed: Arrows of jealousy, internal dispute, stingings of conscience, quarrels; and domestic disputes for persons who are married.
The library's note
Waite's own description is the shortest given to any card in the suit: "motion through the immovable," a flight of wands drawing to the end of their course through open country. No figure appears at all, only the staves themselves in flight, wands' vitality stripped down to pure velocity between the held ground of the Seven and the settled weight of what follows. He reads it as haste toward "an end which promises assured felicity," speed rather than arrival, the suit's most kinetic pip before the Nine slows to watchful stillness.
