Flag of fortune, flag of me,
I’m claiming my destiny.
Knight of Wands Spell
Charge ahead,
full speed, they said—
but I'm soaking it in,
letting my thoughts spin.
The ground is nothing under me—
it feels weird,
but I don't.
No weight pushing,
no gravity pulling,
it's only me and me, exploring.
Suited up, nice and pretty—
it feels good to feel not-shitty.
My space is in space—
I can't see my face,
but I know where I'm going
because I can taste
it.
Leaving a home that wasn't a home
is easy, said nobody.
Standing around, with no feet on ground
is brave, said everybody.
But I rarely care what anybody says
except for the image I make in my head.
Red ball of fire dancing in my eyes—
don't care what you are,
I just need my prize.
My wings of fire have always carried me
across the deserts, the unknown, and the seas—
here, there, before, now—infinity.
The horn on my head, the only map I need—
it points to where I know I'll succeed.
Flag of fortune, flag of me,
I'm claiming my destiny.
In the moment,
in this instant of time—
I'll pause and admire what soon will be mine.

IMAGE
A space unicorn hovers before landing on a new planet, flag in hand. Infinity stars made of eyes pepper the atmosphere with power. Eight takes in the beauty of what’s in front of her.
For a moment, she hesitates—feeling the weight of what she’s about to claim.
She dreamt about this. She made it happen. Now destiny stands before her, waiting to be taken. Her wings of fire and tail of flame carry the promise of fearless movement. Her horn, full of magick, leads the way—but it is her soul that tells her to move.
And then—she does.
DIVINATORY MEANING
Knights are action in Tarot, and the Knight of Wands embodies movement in its purest form. You see something in your mind’s eye—imagining it, building it, feeling it come alive within you. But that’s only the beginning. You move—fully, immediately. Without pausing, once the moment arrives.
You are not afraid of the unknown—the void, the uncharted, the unseen. Where others see uncertainty, you see possibility. Where others pause, you advance. You will pursue what others wouldn’t dare ponder. Your courage is undeniable.
But, this energy is not meant to be reckless—it is meant to be directed. You trust instinct more than planning. You move when it feels right. And when that instinct is clear, your force is unstoppable. But when it isn’t, that same fire can turn volatile—burning through what you were trying to build.
You are not here to shrink your fire. You are here to aim it. The darkness you came from has already transformed into light. It fuels you now—guiding you forward, illuminating paths others can’t see.
You don’t just chase destiny. You create it.
EIGHT’S INSIGHT
The one who runs toward freedom without looking back.
For one person to hold this much energy is rare—a unicorn. Expansive, electric, impossible to ignore. You move through the world—and beyond it—with a force that is entirely your own. Sometimes you know it—and sometimes you show it. But not everything is about you. Stay grounded, even when you are floating around in space. Take in what surrounds you without letting it inflate you. Your power doesn’t need to be declared to be real.
Your tenacity is a gift—until it isn’t. When you move without awareness, it can backfire. The same fire that propels you forward can burn through what you’re trying to create—forcing you to retrace your steps and start over.
Pause. Take it in. Know what you’re claiming—then move.
Passion is powerful. But without direction, it becomes impatience. This can cost you what you were so close to reaching. No need to rush—what is meant for you isn’t going anywhere. Until you grab it.
