Upright meaning
Eight staves in flight and nothing in their way. Sudden acceleration — messages arriving, things moving faster than expected, a situation resolving quickly after a long stall.

Eight of Wands reversed
The hold-up. Messages not arriving, momentum stalling, or too much happening in too many directions.
Reversal does not flip Eight of Wands into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to delay, scattered, held up.
In love
Rapid developments, a message that changes things, a relationship moving quickly.
