Arrows of jealousy, internal dispute, stingings of conscience, quarrels; and domestic disputes for persons who are married.

Reflection

Light
Taking swift action Moving forward with a plan as quickly as possible Energizing yourself Adapting to sudden changes Taking setbacks in stride Embracing the idea that nothing stays the same forever Reacting quickly and appropriately to unforeseen problems

Shadow
Giving in to panic Running in circles and screaming Insisting things must always stay the same Stirring the pot just to see what will happen Rushing others Refusing to re-evaluate a schedule or program, even when it's clearly no longer appropriate

Symbolism

The card represents motion through the immovable-a flight of wands through an open country; but they draw to the term of their course. That which they signify is at hand; it may be even on the threshold.
