Blocked Meaning

Card Theme: Insecurity

When the Eight of Wands shows up in the blocked position, this suggests that your energy may have been feeling scattered and leaving you feeling confused. The simple meaning of the card in this position is a delay, and you may find yourself with lots of work to finish or waiting for a decision to be made.

In relationships, you might find it hard to communicate with people and get into arguments unnecessarily.

Perhaps you are not clear why you are on a particular path and aren’t sure how you got here and how to change it. Feeling this way can often make you question what it’s all about and whether there is anything more to life than just the mundane.
