Eight of Swords
Feeling trapped · Helplessness · Self-imposed limits
Love & relationships
You feel stuck in the relationship, but you have more options than you think. Ask whether fear is keeping you from doing anything at all.
Money & work
The situation looks blocked, but you may have set the limits yourself. Change your perspective and ask for help, and a way out appears.
Health
Anxiety and worry stiffen the body. Move to break the cycle of thoughts, and consider counselling if you need it.
Reversed
You are beginning to break free of the thoughts that bound you. A new perspective brings freedom.
In summary
The Eight of Swords shows a blindfolded figure surrounded by swords. Yet the ropes are loose and the path is open. What traps you may be fearful thinking rather than the situation itself. Take off the blindfold and take just one step.
