Love and the Eight of Wands

If you’re already in a committed relationship, you may be feeling like things aren’t progressing in the way you’d hoped they would.
Be patient. Things are better than you believe them to be, and your partner isn’t going anywhere despite your questioning their level of commitment.
If you’re searching for a romantic partner, this means that you will find the right person, but not by force.
If there is already someone in your life that you consider a potential match, you’ll have to allow them to come to that realization themselves. Slow and steady wins the race.
