Robin Wood Tarot - Eight of Wands
Robin Wood
Deck: Llewellyn
Book: Livingtree Press

Description:
The background is a starry sky, with looming planets. We can just see the upper curve of the earth at the bottom of the card, as 8 jewel-tipped wands shoot toward outer space, trailing tails of fire.

From the book:
Key phrase: Sudden advancement
Upright meanings: swift activity, the path of activity, hope. Freedom of action after a period of inaction. Too swift a pace. Decisions made too hastily. Travel.
Reversed: Jealousy, dispute, oppressive conditions (at home or at work), a bad conscience.

My thoughts:
The phrase that springs to my mind when I see this version of the 8 of Wands is "shoot for the stars". This card would urge me to take action, to make an all-out effort to achieve a desired goal ... but to be sure I have firmly in mind what that goal is, so I know where to aim.
